I’m having a different kind of spam problem this week. My ISP has begun scanning port activity on their customers and they have shut off my Internet twice for spam activity, even though I am not violating their “terms of use” in any way.

MONTANANS INSIST ON GUN RIGHTS
Montana officials are warning that if the Supreme Court rules in the D.C. gun ban case that the right to keep and bear arms protects only state-run militias like the National Guard, then the federal government will have breached Montana’s statehood contract.
