"White America Has Lost Its Mind"
"The white brain, beset with worries, finally goes haywire in spectacular
fashion"

About 12:01 on the afternoon of January 20, 2009, the white American mind began
to unravel.

Schlessinger?

Barack ObamaLaura SchlessingerJames O'KeefeWorld PoliticsU.S. Politics It had
been a pretty good run up to that point. The brains of white folks had been
humming along cogently for near on 400 years on this continent, with little sign
that any serious trouble was brewing. White people, after all, had managed to
invent a spiffy new form of self-government so that all white men (and,
eventually, women) could have a say in how white people were taxed and governed.
White minds had also nearly universally occupied just about every branch of that
government and, for more than two centuries, had kept sole possession of the
leadership of its executive branch (whose parsonage, after all, is called the
White House).
But when that streak was broken—and, for the first time, a non-white president
accepted the oath of office—white America rapidly began to lose its grip.
As with other forms of dementia, the signs weren't obvious at first. After the
2008 election, when former House majority leader Tom DeLay suggested that
instead of a formal inauguration, Barack Obama should "have a nice little
chicken dinner, and we'll save the $125 million," black folks didn't miss the
implication. References to chicken, particularly of the fried variety, have long
served as a kind of code when white folks referred to black people and their
gustatory preferences—and weren't many of us already accustomed to older white
politicians making such gaffes? But who among us sensed that it was a harbinger
that an entire nation was plunging into madness?
Who didn't chuckle, after all, the first time they heard that white people had
doubts that Barack Obama had even been born in the United States and was
therefore ineligible to be president? It sounded like one of those Internet
stories in which some (usually white) writer does his best to prove something
everyone knows to be true is actually the exact opposite. And you go along with
it for a few paragraphs to see how long the writer can convince you that what
you know is right is actually wrong.

White America Has Lost Its Mind
The white brain, beset with worries, finally goes haywire in
spectacular fashion
By Steven Thrasher
Seemed like that, didn't it?
After all, what was the beef?
Obama's father was Kenyan, and the kid was born in Hawaii—which is
barely a part of the United States to begin with (only a state in
1959!).
His mother was white, and after the Kenyan guy left, she married an
Indonesian guy, so little Barack lived in Jakarta for a while before
coming back to Hawaii to be brought up largely by his white
grandparents. . . . And that's it?
Come on, this was after-school-special material, the kind of thing
that brings a tear to your eye because little half-Kenyan/half-white
Barry made good, not the stuff of conspiracy novels.
But the more you shook your head at it, the more it seemed to have
taken root deep in the lizard part of the white nervous system. Obama
is not an American.
He says he's Christian, but he has a Muslim-sounding name.
He's not black, he's not white. . . . Is . . . is he even human?
Today, Newsweek has found, nearly a quarter of Americans believe that
Obama is a Muslim, with barely 42 percent of the nation accepting his
claim that he's a Christian.
CNN finds that a quarter of Americans also believe that Obama was
"probably or definitely" born in another country.
Harris found in an online poll that 14 percent of Americans believe in
their hearts that President Barack Obama is the antichrist, with
nearly a quarter of Republicans saying so.
At least in this form, however, Satan (sometimes) wears a flag pin.
What was going on?
Had decades of sucking down so much high-fructose corn syrup not only
made Americans incredibly obese, but also messed with white brain
chemistry to the point that some sort of tipping point had occurred?
Not a bad theory, but no, there's a simpler explanation, with two
parts:
For the first time in their lives, baby boomers are hard up against it
economically, and white boy is becoming outnumbered and it's got his
bowels chilled with fear.
"In an age of diminished resources, the United States may be heading
for an intensifying confrontation between the gray and the brown,"
writes Ronald Brownstein in his July National Journal article, "The
Gray and the Brown: The Generational Mismatch."
That's a polite and understated way of saying that older white folks
are losing their shit as they're being replaced by young brown and
black kids while the economy is in the crapper.
Brownstein notes that 40 percent of the nation's population under 18
is already non-white, with that number significantly higher in the
Southwest (read: Mexicans!).
By 2023, that number of young non-whites will be an outright national
majority.
At the same time, the baby boomers are getting older.
At 80 percent white, boomers have gotten pretty used to dominating
nearly every field of endeavor in this country since they came of
age—politics, business, education, the arts—just about everything but
MTV programming.
Boomers set the national agenda in so many ways that we can forget how
much the national economy and national media cater to them.
Bewildered by the number of Cialis ads you see on television showing
those flabby couples sitting in bathtubs?
Or the way that older women are suddenly "cougars" and "MILFs" and . .
. oh, yeah, you remember, boomers are getting old, but still want to
think they can get the sheets sweaty.
See?
Boomers and their fixations and fears explain nearly everything. . . .
Anyway, as boomers age, they get more politically active.
That's just human nature, and their 40-million-strong AARP is the
nation's biggest lobbyist.
But as they try to wield that power, they're running into the growing,
and less white, younger generations.
"Like tectonic plates, these slow-moving but irreversible forces may
generate enormous turbulence as they grind against each other in the
years ahead," writes Brownstein.
At some point, when tectonic plates build up enough tension, that
destructive energy gets unleashed in a major earthquake, which is a
pretty good metaphor for what happened on November 4, 2008.
A black man got elected president, and suddenly every aging white
boomer in this country turned into Carole King—they sure as hell felt
the earth moving under their feet.
Meanwhile, the brother moving into the White House inherited the kind
of mortgage that even Wall Street executives might hesitate to call
"subprime."
A devastated economy.
Two wars, neither being fought with clear goals.
Housing markets that resembled war zones.
A health system crippled with costs.
An auto industry cratering.
But surely, in a time of crisis, the country could pull together to
fix this mess, right?
Can you help a brother on health care? No.
The economy? No.
Financial regulatory reform? No.
National security? No.
Now, some black folks can be forgiven for thinking, as they watched
the political drama in Washington unfold over the past two years, that
this was just another form of the same old thing they'd put up with in
one way or another in this conflicted multiracial country.
But there is another explanation.
White people have simply gone sheer fucking insane.
Let's look at some examples to nail down that theory.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now was a
nonprofit that organized voter drives and worked for improved wages
and housing for poor, mostly non-white Americans.
And because of who they organized, they became public enemy No. 1 in
the eyes of certain people not so thrilled with black folks
registering to vote in large numbers.
Obama had once defended ACORN in a voting-rights case (as co-counsel
alongside the Justice Department and the League of Women Voters).
An ACORN offshoot was one of many Get-Out-the-Vote enterprises
employed by his primary (but not general) campaign.
The group's members did the same kind of community organizing that
Obama had done as a young man.
But throughout the 2008 election season, there was a concerted
campaign to whip up hysteria about ACORN, and by November 2009, Public
Policy Polling found that more than a quarter of Americans (and an
outright majority of Republican voters) believed that ACORN had stolen
the election for Obama.
This was, of course, after the classic bit of Nixonian "rat-fucking"
pulled off by a prankster named James O'Keefe.
O'Keefe, a veteran at creating videos to make blacks look greedy and
stupid (look for "Taxpayers Clearing House" on YouTube), spent the
summer driving around the country with his accomplice, Hannah Giles,
making videos in ACORN offices asking for advice about avoiding tax
troubles with prostitution money.
You've no doubt seen the images of O'Keefe dressed as a '70s pimp.
But O'Keefe had carefully edited his tapes and left out, for example,
that he was decked out in college preppie clothes, not pimp-wear.
At least one ACORN office threw him out, and at least two knowingly
played along with his ruse.
(The San Diego office called the cops after he left, and the
Philadelphia office filed a police report.)
The upshot was that after his edited tapes became public, Congress
quickly voted to strip ACORN of all federal funds.
The organization effectively went out of business before the bill
could take effect or be thrown out in court.
O'Keefe has maintained he was "absolutely independent" in his project.
But in September 2009, the Voice reported that he'd been funded by
billionaire conservative Peter Thiel and the Leadership Institute, the
same outfit that funded young Grover Norquist and Karl Rove.
That revelation fell on deaf ears, however, and to this day, media
outlets perpetuate O'Keefe's claim that he was operating without
backing.
O'Keefe got further help when his tapes were pushed by
BigGovernment.com, which is run by an underhanded blowhard named
Andrew Breitbart.
Months later, O'Keefe was arrested by the FBI in a bizarre prank at
Senator Mary Landrieu's office, in which he was either attempting to
plant a wiretap or, in his explanation on Breitbart's website, just
trying to find out whether her phone system worked to help her
constituents reach her.
(Yeah, that was a good one.)
This summer, Breitbart picked out another black target with another
selectively edited video, this one of a USDA employee named Shirley
Sherrod.
His editing so mischaracterized Sherrod's words and intent that the
fallout, in the words of Frank Rich, "could not only smear an innocent
woman but make every national institution that touched the story look
bad. . . . The White House, the NAACP and the news media were all
soiled by this episode."
But, hey, politics is hardball, right?
We've had rat-fuckers like Breitbart and O'Keefe around forever (the
founding fathers were certainly not immune to dirty tricks in their
day).
What's different this time, however, is just how easily the lies and
distortions of the rat-fuckers are being soaked up by the damaged
crania of this country's drooling white masses.
What sort of senility is softening up the frontal lobes of America's
palefaces that they can't see through the black-hatred of a wanker
like Breitbart?
Out West, meanwhile, as home prices dropped faster than a burst
piñata, an easy scapegoat was found:
Mexicans.
Long the scourge of aging white folks, who don't seem to understand
the economics behind their cheap groceries, immigrants from Mexico,
Guatemala, and other sweltering southern destinations became enemies
of the American Dream.
Suddenly, it was open season on brown-skinned fruit pickers and
seamstresses.
Arizona passed S.B.1070—a law that would force its residents to carry
identity papers with them at all times.
Jurisdictions around the nation are salivating to copy suit.
Back East, meanwhile, we have our own brown-skinned devil:
the Muslim.
When an imam who had done diplomatic work for the Bush administration
put together plans to build the Muslim version of a Jewish Community
Center a few blocks from Ground Zero (but farther away than an
off-track betting joint, a strip club, and the very financial
institutions that had detonated the economy), white people freaked
out.
At Landmarks Preservation Commission meetings, white housewives from
Staten Island suddenly took a great interest in preserving
mid-19th-century cast-iron façades and the architecture of Daniel
Badger—all to try to keep New Yorkers from taking swimming lessons in
the same building where Muslims would have a place to pray.
They argued that Muslims could never understand the impact of 9/11
(even though more than 20 Muslims were killed that day) and could
never understand the concept of Ground Zero being holy ground (as if a
building that would contain prayer services was somehow less holy than
an outlet for betting on horses or stuffing dollar bills into
G-strings).
But by now, those sorts of distinctions are nearly impossible to make
for a white mind so cluttered by decay.
Race was always a tough one for white people to deal with, but now the
backflips some people are doing over it requires a scorecard.
There may be no better example than Laura Schlessinger and the great
white outpouring of support following the bizarre flameout of her
radio show.
It all started with the most incomprehensible of happenings:
that a black woman would, out of all reason, call the Dr. Laura show
seeking advice.
The sister called Schlessinger to ask how to handle her white
husband's white friends, who sometimes say racist things that she's
uncomfortable with, including using "the N-word."
Schlessinger almost immediately went to, "A lot of blacks voted for
Obama simply 'cause he was half-black."
She told the caller not to "NAACP" her by taking her out of context.
She said "nigger" is fine to say because "black guys use it all the
time."
She then wrote the caller off as having a "chip on [her] shoulder" and
declared, "We've got a black man as president, and we have more
complaining about racism than ever."
She told the caller that if "you're that hypersensitive about color
and don't have a sense of humor" (i.e., you even question that your
husband's white friends say "nigger" to you in your house), "don't
marry out of your race."
The caller, Schlessinger thought, was suffering from
"hypersensitivity—which is being bred by black activists."
Her discomfort with the word "nigger," Schlessinger said, was just
another "attempt to demonize whites hating blacks."
The reaction from white America, who clearly had not remembered to
take their thorazine that morning, was overwhelming:
Who, if not Laura Schlessinger, should say "nigger" with impunity?
Schlessinger announced on Larry King Live, however, that in order to
"regain" her First Amendment rights of free speech, she would be
canceling her show.
Constitutional experts are still trying to parse that one.
Sarah Palin then rushed to Schlessinger's, side, Tweeting in her
inimitable style, "Don't retreat . . . reload!"
Palin, we can only assume, wanted Schlessinger to utter "nigger" as
often as she wanted.
Perhaps the two of them, having both quit their jobs, can get together
and put on a road show, opening with "Zip Coon" and finishing with a
rousing rendition of "Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny"?
On February 19, 2009, not a month into Obama's presidency, Rick
Santelli—a former hedge-fund manager—had a meltdown on the floor of
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange while broadcasting for CNBC.
Santelli was incensed not that the government was bailing out the
multimillionaires who had run giant financial institutions, but that
assistance would also be going to help out ordinary people who found
themselves defaulting on their home mortgages.
Calling such folks "losers," he said, "How many of you want to pay for
your neighbor's mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can't pay
their bills?"
He then added that he was not only mad as hell, but wanted to do
something about it:
"We're thinking of having a Chicago Tea Party in July. All you
capitalists that want to show up to Lake Michigan, I'm gonna start
organizing."
Suddenly, other angry (and obviously very confused) white people began
organizing their own "tea parties" and, from the start, had to defend
themselves from charges that there was more than a little racial
component to their movement.
Few were really surprised, for example, when Tea Party Express
President Mark Williams turned out to have penned a letter that could
have been written in the worst decades of Jim Crow:
"We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to
that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real,
think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards.
That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand
that it stop!"
And it turns out that the "grassroots" modern tea party effort has
been largely funded by the Koch brothers, reactionaries whose combined
oil wealth places them just behind Bill Gates and Warren Buffet as
America's wealthiest men.
The brothers have given some $100 million toward the Tea Party's
astroturf call to arms.
"This right-wing, redneck stuff works for them," a former Koch
associate told The New Yorker.
"They see this as a way to get things done without getting dirty
themselves."
And in primaries across America this year, the Kochs have gotten one
hell of a return on their investment.
After decades of pouring money into think-tanks, the billionaire
brothers now have an ally no institute fellow could ever match:
a scared, angry white mob that votes.
And what a mob.
White folks used to shy away from candidates who e-mailed pictures of
a woman being fucked by a horse, didn't they?
Can you just see the scene down at the Republican Party headquarters:
"Well, except for sending out those e-mails of horse-fucking, other
e-mails of nigger jokes, and also fathering a love child, this guy
Carl Paladino is just our kind of guy!"
Finding Rick Lazio not crazy enough, white New Yorkers nominated
Paladino for governor by a margin of almost two to one.
Sure, Lazio had made an effort.
He'd gone after the "Ground Zero Mosque" like a good race-baiter, but
he just isn't in Paladino's mouth-frothing league.
"Crazy Carl" is threatening to take a baseball bat to Albany (and our
Tom Robbins explained last week how Carl's looney ravings are an empty
act).
Now, try, if your cortex is not too far gone, to reel things back a
couple of years.
Imagine, if you can, Barack Obama surging in polls in 2008 if it were
known he'd sent out e-mails of a white woman getting it from a horse,
revealed that he had a 10-year-old love child, and was threatening to
take a baseball bat to federal employees.
It's really impossible to conjure up, isn't it?
That—right there, more than anything—demonstrates just how much the
white brain has become Swiss cheese in the last couple of trips around
the sun.
A close second place:
the really crazy white shit happening down in Delaware, a state that
never really caused much trouble (except for unleashing Joe Biden on
us) until it nominated one-time witch Christine O'Donnell, who is so
batshit crazy she makes Sarah Palin sound perfectly reasonable.
By now, just about everyone has seen the precious moment in MTV's 1996
Sex in the '90s when O'Donnell made this monumental discovery about
masturbation:
"If he already knows what pleases him and he can please himself, then
why am I in the picture?"
Fourteen years later, it doesn't really seem to be dawning on the
still-unmarried O'Donnell that she's not "in the picture" and might
never be.
But that, apparently, isn't going to stop her waging war against the
sex lives of everyone else.
Again, only white lunacy explains it:
Neither O'Donnell nor Paladino is a fringe candidate.
O'Donnell has a difficult, but not impossible, chance to become a U.S.
Senator.
Paladino may yet become New York's next governor.
(He's already polling ahead of Andrew Cuomo among likely male voters,
who are generally white and clearly stark raving mad.)
Is there any hope?
Can the white mind be cured?
And what—other than a massive lobotomy—can salvage it?
It's hard to imagine a cure when, at this point, the patient doesn't
seem to realize that he's sick.
Rush Limbaugh, for example, has declared that it's black Americans who
have a problem.
The "black frame of mind is terrible" because of unemployment, and,
equally important, because of "Tiger Woods's choice of females," he
has said.
What was that about a pot and a kettle?
If there is a cure, it likely won't come from Barack Obama.
There are those who say that this president invited our current
derangement by not being commanding enough.
They say he should have inveighed Franklin D. Roosevelt, who famously
said before ever being re-elected, "I should like to have it said of
my first Administration that in it, the forces of selfishness and of
lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said . . . of
my second Administration that in it these forces met their master."
But if Obama ever referred to being the "master" of anything, he'd
scare white people more than he already does.
Glenn Beck is one of the downright terrified, and has said that Obama
has "a deep-seated hatred of white people or the white culture."
Which makes you wonder, has Beck really not seen Obama in his golf
attire?
In the end, it goes beyond Obama, and the current economy, and is
really about the inevitable demographic future of America, those
coming browns and the grays.
They will—one way or another—have to learn to get along.
It is true, as Brownstein says, that the graying boomers will hate to
pay for the education, health, and welfare of the coming browns.
They'll be stingy about it.
They'll scream about it.
But they'll have no choice but to do it.
After all, who but the hordes of young browns will be around to work
when the grays retire?
To pay taxes?
To fund their Medicare and Social Security?
And how will they earn enough money to finance boomers in their
retirement if they're not well educated and healthy?
To do this dance effectively, the white American mind is going to have
to focus and prioritize.
Maybe, just maybe, it might be required to act with a little
ever-loving sanity every now and again.

How do you figure that Obama's "non-white"? His mother is
white, which means he's more white than black.
In every traditional culture, if a child has parents of
different nationalities, the nationality of the child is considered to
be that of the mother.
Modern science has proven this by showing that babies carry
more of their mother's genes than their fathers.
It's close, and every child is a mix of the genes of both
parents of course, and those genes do interplay in order to foster
different characteristics as well, but the kid nonetheless carries
more of his momma's genes than his dads'.
That's one of the reasons why the ignorance of the nitwits who
think Obama is partly Arab or all Muslim is nearly unbelievable.
And there's nothing wrong of course with being an Arab, a
Muslim, or even an Arab Muslim. It's just distressing so many people
in positions of journalistic responsibility apparently learned their
craft at the University of If-Someone-Said-it-it-Must-Be-True.

White men aren't "white boys" Harry. You might qualify to be
called by such a title, but most don't.
Additionally, you've proven that like most self-described
liberals, you are a racist.
YOU think of race in America as "us and them", or else YOU
would not lump all "non-whites" into one category.
How do you figure that whites will be a "minority"?
If whites are 45% of the population, hispanics are 20%, blacks
are 20%, and 15% are "other", then whites are still BY FAR the largest
ethnicity.
YOU ARE A RACIST BECAUSE YOU LUMP ALL NON-WHITES IN TOGETHER
AS ONE GROUP. ~ YOU ~ THINK OF RACES IN TERMS OF "US AND THEM".
YOU are not part of the solution; you're part of the problem,
and it's just what I'd expect of a fake ass suburban liberal snot like
yourself.

You imbecile. Do you have the barest bit of a clue of how many
WHITE people voted for Obama? An awful lot more than voted for McCain.
Obama won, vote to vote, almost 2 to 1. Do you not realize that?
The Bushites still stinging from people who insist that Bush
wasn't the president wanted to strike back.
After all, it wasn't just dangerous to say it then; it still
is.
Think about it. If Bush wasn't the president, then Scalia,
Alito, etc don't really hold the positions they're in and some REAL
appointments need to be made.
I get a little tired of hearing such people described thusly
by you.
I'm not saying that they aren't the way you describe them;
just that you don't have the right to say it because when it's Dem
hucksters who are funded by big-money interests, you don't mind one
bit.

And that's where you're wrong. The MEDIA (You know.. the one
the liberals AND conservatives are so dependent on, albeit for
different reasons) are the ones sucking these stories up.
The only people who believe Obama isn't a US citizen are the
people who WANT to believe that, and the same is true of the ones who
believe he's a MUSLIM.
You think Americans don't know better maybe because you often
don't, but most probably do.

Arizona didn't pass that law because there were Mexican
fruitpickers and seamstresses there; it passed it because of "La
Raza", the "reconquista", and other such idiocy.
THAT is why Arizona passed S.B. 1070.

I would say speak for yourself, but that's really who you are
speaking for.
Anyway, I don't think most Americans hate Muslims, and even
many who think they do probably wouldn't if they met one and got to
know him/her.
People will sooner or later realize that the "ground zero
mosque" business is political grandstanding.

She was making a valid point, and the woman who called her
was/is an IDIOT.
She said it once, that "rappers say 'nigger' all the time",
and the woman very stupidly objected, as if she was too empty of
knowledge of common language to understand that Schlessinger was
simply stating the fact that rappers say it all the time.
Schlessinger started to explain (I wouldn't have bothered),
and she objected again and again until Schlessinger obviously started
having fun with it.
Okay. I probably would have felt tempted to have that kind of
fun with such a moron too.

That's where she went wrong, but I notice you've abbreviated
HER ACTUAL CONVERSATION (the earlier part) by not bothering to mention
that it started with her saying "black guys say 'nigger' all the
time", which is true, and it's also true that she wasn't saying it
except to note that black guys say it.
She wasn't using it as an epithet, ... but wait -
YOU ALREADY KNOW ALL THIS; DON'T YOU.
Of fucking course you do.
And what is the REAL problem that "liberals" have with doctor
Laura?
Remember a few years ago when she said some things that THE
GAYS DIDN'T LIKE?
Ah... that's the real crux of the issue, isn't it.
Ever since then, "liberals" have been harping away about her
endlessly.
She said some things gays didn't like - TOO FUCKING BAD!
Does anyone else here get nauseous when you see a bunch of
white people protesting someone and claiming "racism"?
You guessed it; it's usually a bunch of fags.
I saw the same thing years ago here in Canada when the Reform
Party was being protested.
One of it's members had said something a bit before that gays
didn't like, and next thing you know there's a bunch of fruity looking
lily-whites protesting outside one of their offices.
"Hey hey - ho ho - the reform party has got to go" they sang,
and someone bothered to cover it with a camera and no one gave a damn
because everyone knew better.
The "liberals" have had it in for Dr. Laura ever since she
said some things the fags didn't like. TOO FUCKING BAD.
The "liberals" are the people who've forgotten about their
black constituents ever since gay marriage became the issue of the day
for them.
Do you think they haven't noticed Harry? Trust me; a LOT of
black folks have noticed that you've thrown them under the bus for
fags.
A LOT of black folks have noticed that when they disapprove of
the antics of some flaming gay, they either get fired from their job
(Grey's Anatomy), or get called "nigger".
Note that there's a guy on this newsgroup and others who posts
radically stupid pro-gay stuff all the time. Now, there's nothing
wrong with being for equal rights mind you, but I don't think 5th
graders need to be taught about butt-sex, do you?
And what does he call someone black who says something of
which he doesn't approve regarding gays? "Nigger", of course!
You "liberals" are a disease in the US. Don't get me wrong;
you're only half of the illness, but you are nonetheless an illness.
Yeah, he thinks it would be "good for America" if the banks
kick out all the people they promised to "help" way back when.

A reactionary is someone who acts based not on how things are,
but on how they used to be.
The Koch brothers, like most oilmen, want to do away with
regulaions that lessen their short term profit, so their opposition to
Obama has nothing to do with their social views; just their business
views.
Why do you fuckwits always try to make the argument what you
want it to be?
There are people who know better around, your lily white bitch
ass will be called on it.
Now that you put it that way...
But it's nonetheless true that white Americans had as much to
do with voting Obama in as anyone else, and good for those who did.

No she doesn't.
No he doesn't, but the media execs do. That's a very important
distinction to make too, but note that it isn't just white culture
that they hate, but whatever the already dominant (and not profitable
to them because it was dominant before them) culture is.

Except for a couple of FACTS...
See this name "ScotchBright <sko...@mnsi.net>"?
"ScotchBright" can be absolutely anything and is NOT related to your
email in ANY way. Your Agent newsreader doesn't care and neither does
your news service.
And this part "<sko...@mnsi.net>" does NOT have to be real, does NOT
have to be real-sounding, and can be absolutely anything you want to
type in there. Your Agent newsreader doesn't care and neither does
your news service.
