White House Obfuscates Email

Posted by michael on from the tired-of-nigerian-lottery-spam dept.

markgo2k writes "Do you want to email the president? This John Markoff, New York Times story (reprinted here in the non-subscription Seattle PI) details how the White House no longer promises to read anything you send to president@whitehouse.gov. Instead, you must navigate a multi-page website AND confirm your submission via email. Oh, and they only want to talk about subjects that are of interest to them." The web-form system appears to be a bit overloaded at the moment.

    How many penile lengthening offers does GWB get a day?

    Well he needs them. Men with tiny Penises tend to compensate for it in other ways, usually by being agressive and ignoring what others think. Example: Bush has tiny penis. Result: Massive land and areial invasion of iraq. Those cruise missles arent phallic for nothing you know

    Considering the amount of financial aid Israel gets from the US, it seems to be a pretty relevant issue.

    Remember that Israel originally developed nukes behind back of the US, and managed to fool US inspectors.

    The $4B+/Year Isreali Aid program is technically illegal because of Isreal's WMD program. So the US officially play's dumb rather than just change the law to indicate who our friends are.

    Also, it would provide some what relevant context for the average Fox News dumbass hearing about neighbor countries WMD programs.
