Open Source Foes In Bed With Abramoff

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the perpetrating-a-fraud dept.

Will Rodger writes, "Citizens Against Government Waste has said some highly critical things about open source software in the past. They've also pounced on supporters of the OpenDocument Format along the way. Alas, it seems their close ties to Jack Abramoff have drawn the (unfavorable) attention of Senate staff."

      It went well until everyone decided to do introductions and handshakes.

      "Foley, Jack Abramoff."

    I'd love to see a complete overhaul of all sitting candidates in favor for new blood, Democrat *and* Republican who can hopefully work together in a more non-partisan way to actually do something rather than continuously position and campaign.

    To quote Lewis Black: "The only thing stupider than a Republican or a Democrat is when these little pricks work together."

    If you can't argue with him, just shut up, eh?

    Aha -- this isn't actually about what the parent wrote after all! It's because the parent's username, MBraynard, suggest's that he's SWEDISH. You think that all SWEDES are inferior scum, don't try to hide it by couching your words. Take your anti-nordicism elsewhere!
