Slashdot Mirror
Memory Holes and the Internet (updated)
blamanj writes "As reporters and researchers depend more and more heavily on the Internet as a research tool, manipulation of the net becomes a serious problem. A recent Slashdot article discussed this in regard to the White House. Now, The Memory Hole has noticed that Time magazine has pulled an article by Bush, Sr. on why it was a bad idea to try and overthrow Saddam. How can we keep corporate America honest?" Update: 11/11 22:16 GMT by T : Declan McCullagh (former Time, Inc. employee, among other things) writes in with the non-conspiracy explanation for the change, below.
Declan writes "It is silly to claim that Bush Sr. and Scowcroft would strong-arm Time Inc. into removing an article from time.com -- when that article was an excerpt from their book that you can buy today from Amazon.com for $21.
Another explanation is more likely. And, yes, a quick search turns up a May 2003 article from Slate that debunks this rumor. It turns out that Time Inc. only had permission from the publisher to post the content for a limited time."
fuck Bush
Memory at MacWarehouse in 1993 cost $1500 for a 32mb simm...FROST PISS
Yeah, Bush is teh suck. We already knew that. What's new?
Folks, not every move by a (liberal) magazine such as Time is because of the Bush cabal and their black helicopter enforcers.

I've seen these quotes before, and I find the whole thing incredibly funny. Bush Sr. was a mediocre president in his own right, but his son doesn't even have the sense to listen to his agencies. His father spelled out the problems, and Bush II blithely ignores them. I couldn't be happier.
Actually, the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button can be very useful indeed :-)
Off-topic but amusing: my ex-girlfriend used to have a cat called Lucky. She'd sometimes put butter on her clitoris and get the get to lick it off. It's always the first thing I think of when I see "I'm Feeling Lucky"
I forgot to say that his second post is a gay nigger post. So it's pretty clear that Mr Haxalot is another sad troll.
Yes, yes, it's so clear - there's no obvious answer given the extremely limited information we have at hand, so there MUST BE A CONSPIRACY!!1
OMG, the newspaper was wrong about the weather last week! CONSPIRACY!!1!1
OMG, my coffee is getting cold! CONSPIRACY!!!1!!
OMG, it's after 10 AM!! CONSPIRACY!!!1!!!@
Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!
Just call it a country full of fools then, but hey, its not like any democrat could do better.
This is irritating. This slashdot vs. the Bush admin stuff. Doesn't anyone else find it so silly that any and everything that seems to happen, well, bad stuff anyway, is immediately tied to Bush in a way that makes the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon look reanonable.
Who controls the past, controls the future.
Who controls the present, controls the past.
Except he thought it was a blueprint, not a warning...
I'm not happy about any of this Bush League misleadership. But it would be worse if Bush Jr. had his Supreme Court coup, and took no more foolish chances with our country. Once the American economy juggernaut had returned to unparalleled profitability (as it always does, practically every decade of the 20th Century and prior), Bush Jr. would look like he had "turned the economy around". Then Americans would have even more easily forgotten the coup. The precedent would be graven in stone, and the American republic replaced with an Empire, run for the Bush dynasty by the Imperial Republican Guard. *Then* the foolish chances would be taken with reckless abandon, once the Permanent Reagan Revolutionary Party had regamed the system to Mexicanize the government.
This way, the Bush League has shown that they're competent only to steal. And their minority legions competent only to fool themselves into wasting every opportunity with miserable failure. So there's a chance to show that the American Republic is resilient enough to withstand even 4 years of Depression, autocracy and Orwellian doubletalk, when the voters fire the Clown in Chief in November 2004, without a shot fired, without even a revolution. Just the Permanent American Revolution: universal suffrage, representative democracy.

Great journalism? Hello Mr Kettle, how black are you? If there is a conspiracy, supply evidence of said conspiracy? No evidence, then at least supply converging proofs which point in the direction. You don't have any? Welll I'm sorry pal. This is an intellectual forum where we expect reason with our proofs.
Come back when you find your brain.
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
SHUT-UP you STUPID LIBERTARIAN/REPUBLICAN DOG eat DOG/SURVIVAL OF the FITTEST TROLL!
Um, okay, I guess this is either a new style of trolling that you're pioneering... or maybe you just have bizarre delusions regarding former Treasury Secretary Donald Regan..?
Dude, you're in the wrong thread.. toke em up, move em out. Thanks for .. spacing out.
Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!
i'd like to see you back up some of the stuff you're saying...
like:
"so that we can have more oil to power our SUV's"
"Some cokehead"
otherwise you just look like another democrat sheep jumping on the bandwagon of "lets hate bush"
no you're just a nazi who falls in line with all the other sheep....
yes i doubt your oil comment...where is your support of it? oh you have none, what a big surprise...
you say no wmd but what about clinton & all the other dems who said he had em?
ok why were the charges dropped? a link would be nice, to something thats not biased as shit of course...
as for the awol comments there's no true proof he was, both sides say one thing or the other so until real proof comes out on one side or the other your comments are just further proof you will buy into anything
i have a nice bridge for sell btw...
bushwatch? yesh that's not biased in the least...
again i wanna see actual proof like say papers from the courts etc (ah la smoking gun style)
"And severe pressure from the Whitehouse was placed on the publisher to pull the book"
lets see the proof on this also...
yes yes keep up the propaganda from the left & the commies....when i can see undeniable proof with full facts then i'll have an opinion until then you're just another sheep being led blindly by propaganda
very amusing also you think i support bush...then again not really since i question your holy propaganda i have to right?
asshat
