Congress needs to leave baseball alone. The TSA is assaulting women and children daily, our currency is having serious problems, the same amount of Americans are unemployed as two years ago, our trade deficit with china is downright dangerous, and we have the highest corporate tax rate In the world. These yahoos are concerned with BASEBALL. They are fiddling while Rome burns.

Bingo. A 6 week trail is not cheap. Between this and the extensive congressional testomony I'd love to see the bill. Unrelated but did you see where a top official of the gsa spent over 800k on himself and still getting paid while under investigation?

I dont have to justify nada to you for posting a link.. Get over it. If you read the post it stated another waste of tax dollars. If thats not basic enough for you I dont know what is...

Right click on link, hit "properties" in the pull down.

Read real URL and make a choice. As you can see it's an ABC link. Take a chance.

Geezzzzz
Need any cheese and crackers to go with that whine?

The reason it is so important not to lie to Congress is that Congress has granted themselves a monopoly on lying to people - like the Postal Service with delivering mail. Government likes to give itself monopolies because it does such a poor job of everything it can't stand competition.

On the other hand, how can an entity that couldn't recognize the truth because it has never dealt in it and constantly refuses to recognize the truth because it is politically inconvenient prosecute somebody else for lying to it? For instance, did the guy lie about taking steroids, or were those steroids like the social security funds in the lockbox that isn't there - there but not-there? Head hurting yet?

Excuse me but I can make a link like that as well.

Allan was right in asking for more of an explanation about the link then was posted as i did not click on it myself either.

If I really wanted to and entice you all to click on some Gun Porn or anything else for that matter and the next thing that I would get was that my agent was installed on anybody’s computer that clicked the link. As far as you would have known it was the legitimate site but you now are seeing what I want you to see as I have intercepted your connection and your browser has let be install an agent on your system.
That little lock that you see along with the https by the way that is mine as well.

There is a tool out there that is used by both the good and bad folks called the Social Engineering toolkit (SET) and Yes I use it on a regular basis in the performance of my job.

Here is the link to SET

This tool is also included in BackTrack 5 R1 and R2

I could make a link to hades and call it heaven.

A bit of savvy could uncover it also.

First step is to discover if the actual url is as labeled in the link... doubt a regular member here would post a malicious link though...

Unless you're willing to monitor port activity and install state of the art security ware a good anti-virus and some prudence will do.

ain't nobody pissin in my post toasties ...just sayin....

I think what AlanM was trying to do (and this is just my thought), was get you to comment a little bit about the link that you posted. I agree with your position, why waste the taxpayers' money on Clemens? They have already ruined his reputation and killed his money making ability with endorsements.

Now they want to house and feed him for months or years, costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands more. It makes little to no sense to me. Meanwhile he is accused of the same thing Bill Clinton was, lying under oath.

I can agree with that... post a link, post some justification or make your own point about the link. This helps get the discussion going.
