You said: “…apparently Horowitz caved in to Rall’s bullying and posted a much less flattering public domain photo instead.”

Oh, I dunno that I’d call that “caving in to Rall’s bullying.” I think the photo posted above is way too glamorous for someone with a mind as creepy as Rall’s. The new photo at the page you linked above (http://discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1845) is a better fit. That “much less flattering public domain photo” looks like the last known photograph of somebody who might have kidnapped a little girl from a gas station, provided the little girl looked frail enough.

A Photoshop contest would be great. If it was just a matter of putting Ted’s photo on our blogs, I’d say hotlink it rather than copying. It’ll look the same to the reader, cost him bandwidth instead of us, and he won’t even be able to claim we were “copying” anything!

Why don’t we all put Ted’s photo on our blogs for a week? Or better yet, have a photoshop contest.

The whole thing clearly illustrates the vacuous nature of EVERY SINGLE THOUGHT that comes out of Ted R@ll’s mind.

To quote Bugs Bunny “What a maroon!” (Give ol’ Ted this much, he IS funny; just not in any pleasurable sense of the word.)

p.s. I don’t visit your site as often as I should, but it rocks!

“And so, having disposed of the monster, exit our hero through the front door, stage right.”

Nice job. Ted Rall has just proven that he is exactly as smart as he is funny.
