Fucking leech sites.

If you try to go to that URL, you'll get an error page, so don't bother. Bouncing around will take you to a NSFW website that -claims- to be an utterly free non-spam adult website.

I mention them because they're leeching Peter is the Wolf.

In the site statistics for yesterday (5-28-06), the above URL was listed as referring to peteristhewolf.com 42 times... accessing 0, that is zero, HTML pages, but accounting for 18.15% of the day's TOTAL BANDWIDTH. Doing the math (2.75 GB yesterday X 0.1815 = 499.125 MB, divided by 42) yields 11.88 MB PER HIT. That's almost precisely equal to the size of the adults-only version of the website.

And it only began yesterday.

These people aren't just stealing one or two pics, they're stealing the ENTIRE FUCKING WEBSITE... except for the HTML, which they are NOT grabbing.

I've sent them a cease-and-desist, but I have my serious doubts. I really hope I don't have to disable hotlinking- especially since I'm not certain I can do that myself, and I'd rather not call Dreamhost's direct attention to the content of the website.

Between this and spambots, I'm beginning to go off the idea of a totally unregulated Internet.

Fucking leech sites.

Oh, Yes, Today's a Holiday...

In the memory of Arlin Bruce Overstreet, seaman, United States Navy, 1968-1970

To the war dead of the United States:

Some of you joined to protect your country.
Some of you joined to seek a better life for yourself.
Some of you joined to uphold tradition.
Some of you joined to change the world.
Some of you joined because you were conscripted against your will.

Some of you fought a war to create a new nation.
Some of you fought to prevent that nation from falling apart.
Some of you fought to make the world safe for democracy.
Some of you fought to bring democracy to other nations.
Some of you fought to defend our national interests.
Some of you fought to sieze land for white settlers.
Some of you fought to preserve corporate profits.
Some of you fought to prop up petty dictators against communist revolutions.
Some of you fought to prop up revolutions against communist dictators.
Some of you fought without knowing the reason why.

Throughout it all you were ill-used and ill-treated by the country whose uniform you wore. Politicans used you to gain votes, then used your deaths to justify their actions. Your officers blundered all too often, frequently lying to you about the danger ahead, using your sacrifice to seek promotion. You were paid little or nothing and then docked for the uniform, the equipment, and the food you used. You were all too often ordered to commit atrocities, and then you were left out to dry when public opinion turned against your actions, while the true criminals walked away scot-free. And when you finally left the colors, the promises made to you were broken, again and again and again.

The wonder of our nation is that, despite it all, the vast majority of you served not merely with honor but with human dignity. You strove to do the right thing, even for your enemies. You protested, you grumbled, but you almost never mutinied, and never once did you turn against those who led you. When you were ordered, you obeyed. When you were called, you answered. When you were asked, you went beyond what you were asked. When you were called upon to lay down your life, you died, with courage and honor.

This country does not deserve you.

For what you have done, for what you have given up, for what you sacrificed for the sake of your fellow soldiers, your family, your leaders, your country, and your honor, we thank you.

May we all become worthy of your sacrifice.

Two Webcomics to Note:

From Level99 (NSFW due to what the girls are discussing):

For entirely different reasons, these strips make me happy.
