VeriSlime might do lots of bad things....

But, I doubt it would take all that long for armed federal
knuckledraggers with a federal court order to show up at their
door, if push comes to shove.... ICANN/DOC may well have been

(We would not even need Tom Ridge; just tell Ashcroft there are
pictures of nekked wimmen involved and he'll lead the charge.)
