Found A Phisherman

Does anyone know if there’s someone who this should be reported to? Like the FBI?

[Emergency update later]

Do not, repeat DO NOT, enter any info into the linked page!!!!

It is a phishing page, designed to get your EBay password, and most preferably, your credit card info.

I apologize a thousand times for not making it more clear when I posted originally.

Last Chance

This is probably the last shot we have at saving the new suborbital launch legislation this year, which was passed by the House last month, but still needs to get through the Senate. If it doesn’t pass, we’ll have to start from scratch next year. Jeff Foust has some useful links.

And one of those links, this story from Alan Boyle irks me:

The word from some quarters on Capitol Hill is that the House bill was caught up in a cross-chamber dispute with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who is pressing the House to move forward with boxing-reform legislation.

It’s always frustrating when needed legislation gets held hostage for reasons having nothing to do with it. On the other hand, this probably prevents a lot more bad legislation from passing than good (since most legislation is bad), so perhaps I shouldn’t complain.

A Truly Amazing Comment

Over at Kevin Drum’s place (Kevin’s post is worth a read, too–I may respond to it later if I get time):

Totalitarianism is right here, right up in each of our faces every minute of every day. It is the Republican Party, and not a moment’s thought or effort can be diverted from fighting it until it has been destroyed without trace. This will take three generations, and will leave the country with one third the population and one ten-thousandth the economy that it has today.

Then the country must be rebuilt. That will take a further six generations.

THEN, perhaps, we may once more indulge in the [very great and irresponsible] luxury of wondering what is going on elsewhere in the world. But not before.

Hmmm…well, you know what Stalin said about omelettes and eggs.
