California Special Election

So - we have a governor who was elected with a special election who has initiated another special election to change the election rules.

Not with my vote!

I'm voting against everything Schwarzenegger wants. And I'm voting for everything he doesn't want.

Beating Blog Comment Spam

This works for me. Here's the movable type example:

Location /mt/mtcomments.cgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^.*marc.perkel.com/.*
RewriteRule ^.*http://www.ctyme.com/comment-spam.html
/Location

And for Wordpress Blogs:

Location /blog/wp-comments-newpost.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^.*dvorak.org/.*
RewriteRule ^.* http://www.ctyme.com/comment-spam.html
/Location

The way it works is - if the referring link isn't local - you don't ge to leave a comment. Am I the first one who thought of this?
