blocking the Dick Armey

[Joanna Sheldon]

Speaking of which, has anyone downloaded the new version of Eudora? 
(V.5).  The mailboxes now contain an extra column that allows the program 
to label the "mood" of the writer (the software is called moodwatch) by 
associating little red chili peppers with the message.  Soft, friendly 
exchanges between my friends and me Eudora has sometimes bitchily slapped 
with two red chilies; on LBO, recently, she gave the "fuckme pumps" post 
re: libertarian socialism one chili, but Kelley got no chilis for using the 
word "spank" in her previous post on that subject; Justin's eager response 
merited two... as did John Halle's post about Pollit on Nader, this Dick 
Armey post from Doug, and ChuckO's on spreading rumors.  In that last one, 
d'you suppose it was "bullshit" or "brutality" that got the fickle 
mistress's cane?

Wonder what this post'll get...

Ho HO!  I just got a thrillingly dominatrix message from Eudora when I hit 
the Send button: "Your message to "lbo-talk at lists.panix.com" re: "Blocking 
the Dick Armey" is the sort of thing that might get your keyboard washed 
out with soap, if you get my drift.  You might consider toning it down."
