Actually, while many of the articles may have been purged from the archives, thanks to the cretins at
Gannett news, the "Ithaca is the City of Evil" slogan goes back at least as far as
Thursday, June 22, 2000, back when I was still posting under the handle "Capt. America," (which I changed in part due to a fellow Freeper already being known as "CaptAIN America.")
But thanks for including me as one of the "classics." :-)
