My wife quit AOL years ago [before Win98 came out, that's how long it's been] because pop-up windows BEFORE the browser even came up that would bomb out her computer.

Now it turns out that AOL is nannying people's e-mail and search results? And you have to pay HOW much/month?

I'm a computer technician. I LOVE AOL.

I fix more crashed computers from that one sorry program than any other.

I should send them a thank-you card.

'Twas the night before Kwanzaa
And all through the 'hood,
Maulana Karenga was up to no good.

He'd tortured a woman and spent time in jail.
He needed a new scam that just wouldn't fail.
("So what if I stuck some chick's toe in a vice?
Nobody said revolution was nice!")

The Sixties were over. Now what would he do?
Why, he went back to school -- so that's "Dr." to you!
He once ordered shootouts at UCLA
Now he teaches Black Studies just miles away.

Then to top it all off, the good Doctor's new plan
Was to get rid of Christmas and piss off The Man.

Karenga invented a fake holiday.
He called the thing Kwanza. "Hey, what's that you say?

"You don't get what's 'black' about Maoist baloney?
You say that my festival's totally phony?

"Who cares if corn isn't an African crop?
Who cares if our harvest's a month or two off?
Who cares if Swahili's not our mother tongue?
A lie for The Cause never hurt anyone!

"Umoja! Ujima! Kujichagulia, too!
Collectivist crap never sounded so cool!
Those guilty white liberals -- easy to fool.
Your kids will now celebrate Kwanzaa in school!"

And we heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight:
"Happy Kwanzaa to all, except if you're white!"

AOsmelL has the Blue Star Mother's web host blocked too. We did nothing wrong it just that they don't like our web host. They want for people to use their approved list for web sites.People shouldn't walk away from AOL they should run!!

"banned by aol" makes me think of the Groucho line "i would not join a club that would have me as a member" or something like that...

How ironic. AOL itself is blocked at Little Green Footballs because it seems to be the favorite point of origin for neo-nazi, lefty moonbeam, and Euro-bigot trolls who show up there to spew half-literate terror-apologist progaganda and recycled Goebbels conspiracy theories.

AOL is a shlock company. One is better off without them.

I had an AOL screen-name which provided a little website space. I posted a how-to-contact-Congress site there. Needless to say, it had a right-wing tinge. It was mentioned in WND and served a worthwhile purpose.

One fine day, AOL erased the whole thing.

They are scum. I don't trust 'em as far as I could kick 'em.

Folks, Ann Coulter's take on Kwanzaa is required reading: http://www.anncoulter.org/columns/2002/122402.htm

And Kathy's poem is magnificent. If someone here can bring it to Ann's attention, I'm sure it'd be appreciated. Ann, if you're lurking, it's at http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=5914 and is a total hoot.

I've said it before, and I say it again:

Friends Don't Let Friends use AOL

I banned AOL from my computer...I still remember why too...


It seemed like every other day Rosie O'Donnells fat face would show up on my homepage.

I told them one more time and I'm pulling the plug.

Two days later there she was again...That was it! I couldn't take anymore, last chapter in the book for AOL!

Best thing I ever did!

AOL also blocks MoveOn.org which is causing the Left to claim that AOL has given to the Bush Crime Family.

Simple solution, dump AOL. I have never used AOL and if I am on someone else's computer who does, I simple do not use their browser. Most surfing complaints I've heard have been from AOL users. Also, if they can manage to get anything on your computer, it is virtually impossible to get rid of. I know I went to try and play some media thing a while back, (I had nothing of AOL on my computer at the time) and was told I had to upgrade Real Player. When I did, I suddenly had AOL icons on my system. Given the way they operate (or DON'T operate might be more accurate) I wouldn't have anything to do with them.
