11/6    IMPEACH THE SOCIALIST!
        http://www.obamaimpeachment.org
        \_ Welcome back, freepers.
        \_ Karl Rove playbook chapter 3-- dig up personal dirt about the
           opponent. Best stuff to collect in the order of effectiveness:
           infidelity, oral sex, anti-gun, anti-religion, MoneyGate scandal.
           Save dirt till they're needed, they're like pocket change, you
           never know when you'll need them.
           \_ You think oral sex with your wife is really that much of
              a scandal in America anymore?
              \_ it is a huge scandal in the midwest.
                 \_ gay sex should be number 1, I think then
                    \_ ah, yes, but no presidential candidate has ever
                       had gay sex scandals. not yet.
                       \_ unless you count Lincoln.  -tom
                          \_ Oh great, now you're going to tell us that
                             Lincoln had hot gay sex with his slaves? Sheeit
                             \_ That's why they are called Log Cabin
                                Republicans
                 \_ Link please?  This sounds like a San Francisco urban
                    legend.  Frankly, I think you're full of crap.
        \_ Obama Derangement Syndrome is going to be fun to watch.
        \_ I am willing to bet a lot of money that Obama only has sex with his legal wife
        \_ I am willing to bet a lot of money that Obama only has sex with his
           legal wife
           for the next 8 years.
           legal wife for the next 8 years.

11/7    Now that prop 8 looks like it's passed, does that mean all married
        gay couples have to file taxes separately again, and revert any other
        agreements from married to domestic partner (if it existed)?
        \_ Presumably not until after the case is heard.
           \_ I think it should be in effect the day the results are certified,
              unless there's an injuction. -op
        \_ Even if the courts ok it, it isn't clear what will happen to
           people who were married before the gay marriage man.
           \_ well, doesn't prop 8 define marriage as between a man and a woman
           \_ doesn't prop 8 define marriage as between a man and a woman
        \_ did some more reading.  apparently the fact that it may
           (a) retroactively penalize individuals and (b) conflict with equal
           protection argues the "existing marriages still valid" case. -op
           \_ Uh, emancipation retroactively punished the slaveowners.
              \_ Uh, no. Since the human beings were no longer property, no
                 penalty was accrued. Now, if the slaveowners had had to make
                 reparations, that would have been punishment.
                 \_ uh, they'd paid money for slaves.  the slaves were then
                    released.  Where'd that investment go?
                    \_ By the terms of emancipation, they could not own the
                       slaves to begin with. There was no more investment
                       here than there would be in purchasing uncontained
                       oxygen. The risk that they assumed in purchasing
                       slaves (i.e., that slavery would be abolished)
                       was merely part of the cost, not a retroactive
                       punishment.
                 \_fascism   is the name of an

11/7    Need help on http proxy. After I VPN to work, I'd like to tunnel
        all the traffic to my machine. How do I setup my machine (Linux)
        as a proxy server so that my home computers can route through it?
        I'm asking because the site we're testing on requires that we
        come from the same IP. If I use VPN, the server will reject me
        based on the fact that it's a different IP than my work Linux.
        Thanks for any help!                            -unix noob
        \_ I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but an ssh tunnel on
           port 80 might be the easiest thing.  -tom
        \_ If I understand you correctly, you want to install tinyproxy
           on your linux box. And point your home machine to use it as
           your proxy.   -crebbs

        \_ Old truths have been relearned; untruths have been unlearned.
           We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals;
           we know now that it is bad economics. Out of the collapse of a
           prosperity whose builders boasted their practicality has come the
           conviction that in the long run economic morality pays. We are
           beginning to wipe out the line that divides the practical from the
           ideal; and in so doing we are fashioning an instrument of unimagined
           power for the establishment of a morally better world. -FDR, 1936

                    \_ Yeah, anyone who disagrees with you is a "lefty

                       it.
