It's good because he wanted to compare this list with the list of people who were receiving political emails (propoganda) from the mayor. It's bad enough being spammed by freemarketeers trying to sell you Viagra, but at least there's a certain honesty about them. They're in it to make money, pure and simple. Who wants political spam? Ordinary spam is a waste of time and resources, but is unlikely to result in electoral corruption. Elected officials should A. Know better and B. Not spend taxpayers' money to further their political cause.
"...and also incorporate Microsoft Office Communicator, a corporate instant messaging service."
What would this be, and why? Let's see, office programs for use in a corporate environment and big and heavy and full of features, for home use they may have fewer features. Similarly, music editing software for use in a professional environment will be much more feature rich than the stuff you might use at home. Surely the power users for IM applications are high school kids? Don't they all use AIM and MS Messenger?
I can see why you would want a seperate, corporate IM network, to stop your drones using IM services outwith your network and a. sending your data to users outwith your network, b. wasting time chatting to your friends. The solution to this is a firewall, no? Also, if it's IM specifically designed for use in a corporate environment, does this mean that every single message with have "...this message is intended for the recipient only, if you receive this message in error..." stamped on it? That will really make for a snappy conversation. Businesses being what they are, they will also archive every single message, which is worrying because folk will tend to be even less formal and less careful than they are when using email.
Wouldn't it be terrible if people in other parts of the world had to submit to the laws of a foreign country "where freedom... is the core of the belief"?

That doesn't sound like the Guardian. In fact, they printed this complete phrase, without asterisks on at least 19 occasions in the last 5 years: http://browse.guardian.co.uk/search?site=guardian&search=%22fucking%20nigger%22
The version with the asterisks doesn't show up on a search at all.
...it wasn't Dick Cheney?

If only the climber were attached to a long, linear object which could conduct electricity... :-)
