March 3rd, 2010 by Tom Johnson
The Wine Whore changes the blog but not the title:
The best way to keep people coming by the site to read about my affairs, is to make them more intimate and personal. That doesn’t mean that I am going to ramble on for hours about my cat… it just means that I am going to [...]

Not That I’m Bitter

Here in the Bunker
January 11th, 2010 by Tom Johnson
Louisville Juice is enduring a huge comment spam attack at the moment. Viagra is exploding all around and the blog is under constant fire from Cialis and Levitra. I’ve deleted more than 100 bogus comments in the last two hours. These comments have not been posted because first-time comments have to be moderated.

“In it something is. Thanks for an explanation!”

I Go Out of Town for a Couple of Days and…
November 10th, 2009 by Tom Johnson
…I get 567 spam comments.
