Well what a surprise that was! there were 48 .gov cookies including cars.gov, my congresspeople, what could have been the white house although it didn’t say so exactly...something about gov tracking...

I removed all those cookies. SHEESH! I guess If I want to tell off the POTUS I’ll fax him from Kinko’s or something.

In Firefox, it is under “Tools”, “Options”, “Privacy”.

You can also set your browser to delete all cookies when exiting.

You can also set your browser (same sequence as above in Firefox) to "ask me every time" a site tries to set a cookie. You can decide then. I have done that for years.

Here’s what happened. Somebody decided to send an email — one s/he composed after reading the Bill, or one cut and pasted from the Internet, perhaps from Liberty Counsel or from Roger Hedgecock’s site. This individual sent it along to a list of her friends. They in turn forwarded it to THEIR friends. All of them put the addressees’ email addresses in the “TO:” field of their email client. So each new recipient got all the email addresses of everyone that had received the email.

Somewhere along the line, someone with Kool Aid stains on their lips was sent the message, and BAMMO — off the email went to flag@whitehouse.gov. Not only the original sender, and the ultimate forwarder, but EVERY email address to which the thing had been sent consequently wound up on the White House’s email list.

The White House then sent an email to everyone whose email address appeared in this message, with all its nested FWDs.

And that is how it happened.

NObody uses the “Bcc:” field anymore. If they did, this sort of thing wouldn’t happen.

Does Robert Gibbs remind anyone else of Tweety Bird?

I am waiting to get mine as I have a feeling I might have been reported to their snitch line.

Dear Honored Sir:

You may question as to how I was able to ascertain your e-mail address and name, it is been given me by a trusted family advisor HONORABLE Rahm Emanuel, ESQUIRE, Barrister and Counsel. I am HIS EXCELLENCY Barack Hussein OBAMA, Junior, son of the late esteemed bureaucrat and Marxist Philosopher Barack Hussein OBAMA, Senior of Kenya. As I was elected PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AmeriKKKa in 2008, and was unfairly deposed on a technicality relating to my birth certificate and other minor issues in 2009. Whilst I was in the Executive palace, I was able to squirrel away several BILLIONS of USD, with the assistance of HONORABLE Timothy Giethner and my proud princess and First Lady. What I propose is for you to forward, post haste, your banking and exchequer information to Mr. EMANUEL, in which we may deposit the profits from my short-lived REIGN, in exchange for, we will forward to you 1/20th of the FORTUNE, to the tune of $100 MILLION USD. Time is of the essence, as the newly installed PALIN administration is hot on our heels and we are also making ourselves scarce from Mr. Soros and his henchmen.

I am sorry, I am unfamiliar with your email program. You might search the help file for “Bcc:”

Sorry I cannot be of real help there.
