My friend Val just told me that she was apparently kicked off of Minneapolis Issues without any warning. It looks like anyone who mentions RaucousCaucus.com will violate the list moderator's version of Homeland Security.
Considering all the satirical barbs from the Raucous Caucus that have been directed toward our mayor and his invisible suit, maybe the real security issue here is his political career. If one of the main purposes of the Minneapolis Issues list was to put an "internet consultant" into office, then we can't tolerate advertisement for a web site that features things like a "Morph the Moron" contest (http://www.raucouscaucus.com/morph.html). I've enclosed Val's message. John Trammel Hale =============== A letter to the editors of Raucous Caucus may shed some light on the concerns expressed by "Scott Persons".... Valerie Miller Field --------------------------------- http://www.raucouscaucus.com/Letters.html December 27th, 2002 To the Editor, What a bunch of chickens you are! Why don't you come out from behind your pseudonyms and fight like men? Back in the USSR, we knew what to do with people like you! Leonid Kropotsky Dear Mr. Kropotsky, We agree that people who use pseudonyms are a bunch of chickens ...Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin for example, not to mention Mark Twain, Georges Sand and Snoop Doggy Dog. I can assure you that all of us in the Raucous Caucus use our real names. When Polly and I were lying on the beach on the Cote d'Azur last year, we were amazed to discover we were surrounded by people with the same initials as us. Quel coincidence! What was even more amazing was the fact that we all lived only a few blocks from each other in Kenwood. Naturally, we agreed to collaborate on a website as soon as we all returned to Minneapolis.
