KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine, Aug. 8 -- When the president worships on the road, it is customary for the pastor to pretend he's not there -- or to, at most, greet him and maybe remember him in a prayer. The fiction is a tad ludicrous, given the armored entourage in the driveway and the press pool back by the collection plates. But it is observed more often than not, as the president tries for an hour to appear to be just another American, one more parishioner.

Well, no one told that to the Very Rev. Martin Luther Agnew Jr., who was up from Shreveport, La., for eight weeks as the summer minister at St. Ann's Episcopal Church, a stone, seaside sanctuary less than a mile from the Bush family compound at Walker Point.

1. Martin Luther Agnew?

Boy, there's a moniker!!

[klook]

2. 987 ants

killed by Bush Sr. on the golf course. Isn't that about how many U.S. military personnel have died in the current Iraq war?

3. Wow, good catch

4. (FWIW)

I can't use the link. Requires a registration and I get enough spam as it is.

5. Use Spamex

www.spamex.com

You can have emails forwarded to your real address without ever revealing it. It's great for web sites requiring registration, online purchases, etc. And since you can use a different Spamex address for every situation, you can track whether the web sites are spamming you or providing your Spamex address to third parties. And you can turn the disposable Spamex address off as soon as somebody sends anything to it (or after a certain number of days, or whenever you decide to turn it off).

I've been using Spamex for several months and I think it's great. That, combined with switching to a new email address (which I give out very selectively) have helped cut my spam down to almost nothing.

It's only $10 a year, and well worth it IMHO. You can download a 30-day free trial version and check it out for yourself. But don't take my word for it that Spamex is great. See:

Full disclosure: I have absolutely no relationship to anybody associated with Spamex, and no financial interest whatsoever in Spamex or any other entities associated with Spamex. I just think it's a great service.

6. I created a separate screen name to use JUST for those kind of

registrations. Then all the spam goes to one place and I can just clean it once a week with a delete or "report spam."
