Dear George,   That’s it!  I’m pissed!  Really pissed!  I want the FBI, CIA, DOD, DHS and the Ingham County Sheriff’s Department crawling all over Yahoo like maggots crawling over a fetid corpse.  The company has shirked its duty as a loyal corporate citizen.  There was a time when Yahoo was a middle finger in the dike holding back the storm surge of terrorism.  But they’ve jerked their finger out and America is the worse for it.   Here’s what happened.  Inspired by its colleagues in China, Yahoo had screened certain words that might be used by terrorists intent on destroying our freedoms before you do.  To that end, they banned certain words that might indicate terrorists were using their service to communicate.   The banned words included Allah, bin laden, raghead, security, admin, and asshole.   We were quite safe until the day Linda Callahan applied for a Yahoo account.  I mean, what’s in a name?  Callahan is nice Irish name; I think there’s even a song about it.  Well, that’s just what the terrorists want us to think.  It shows how under handed they are attaching themselves to an honest American name.  Because if you take a closer look, George, you’ll see that the name is really spelled CAllahan.  And those good folks at Yahoo picked right up on it and refused to open her account.[1]   Well, America was safe until her son, Ed Callahan, a good man who simply doesn’t understand the intricacies of national security, raised hell.  The story hit the wires, and the next thing you know, Yahoo wimped out and removed “Allah” from its banned word list.  So now Allah is an approved word, along with Jesus, God, Messiah, pedophile, cock, and penis.    Big guy, you gotta strap Yahoo’s CEO to a waterboard and keep him under until he agrees to put Allah back on the banned list where he belongs.  We must make America safe again.   Your admirer, Belacqua Jones [1] With God as my witness, this is a true story.  –cw 9:34:24 PM    comment []
