Welcome to the Freethought Forum

The lofty high Renaissance and marked mannerism. The heavy and ornate Baroque era, followed by the gentle Rococo. Harsh neo-classicism, rich romanticism, lush naturalism, stern realism, blurred impressionism. Heady surrealism, blockish cubism, postwar Dada, pointy-cornered art deco and cookie cutter Bauhaus.

 Frothy Mixture of Semen and Feces Has a Reputation Problem |

Eventually it eclipsed Santorum's own campaign site in search results; some observers even suggested it may have contributed to Santorum's crushing 18-point defeat in his 2006 campaign against Bob Casey.

... Someone in my household fell for it. No, it wasn't me.  We had a little talk about what's a real firewall warning and what's a malware ad.
So, anyway, this solution looks good, but I'm looking for endorsement and/or other recommendations from an  geek or three.
