# Doug Thompson at Capitol Hill Blue - Selling Out Our Country - Mr. Thompson calls a traitor a traitor. [grabbe]
My, my, the rabid right got their anal sphincters twisted up in all kinds of knots when I suggested they were traitors to their country for supporting the treasonous acts of George W. Bush.

...

Traitors to their country? Damn right. When you sell your vote to the highest bidder, disregard the Constitution because it gets in the way of your political agenda and send men and women to die in a war based on false information you have given up your right to be called an American.

Like so many corrupted by power, the rabid right-wing sold out this country a long time ago and I, and a growing number of other Americans, see them for what they are -- the true enemies of the United States of America.

# Andrew Orlowski at The Register - PGP inventor to debut VoIP crypto - Phil Zimmerman plans to make available next year voice over IP software based on Shtoom. He will unveil a prototype this week. [grabbe]

# snarfed.org - Privacy through Prepaid Credit Cards - a privacy freak describes the world of prepaid credit cards. His current favorite is WebSecret. [clairefiles]

I currently use WebSecret, and I'm fairly happy with it. I buy it with cash, and I don't even have to give my name, much less my address or SSN. Sooner or later, I'll probably run into a merchant that uses AVS (address verification), and I'll get declined. I've avoided it so far, though. Also, I get pinged with a monthly $5 fee for the privilege of using the card, which is annoying, but not a dealbreaker.

# Google News - IRA Says Armed Campaign Over - The Irish Republican Army leadership has asked their members to "dump arms". For their sake, I hope a lot of them ignore the order, and put their arms in storage instead. Otherwise you can bet that the British will hunt them down. [smith2004]
