How much would you care to wager that this slime-ball already had a DUI driving record? The (only)
good part is that apparently they are going to play hard-ball with him.

The only problem with that being that the tinyurl's expire, so any people looking at archived posts
with google won't be able to use them. Of course you could post both. And some people might view the
expiration as a benefit.

tinyurl claims that they won't expire -- you can decide how much you believe them. If that is
the case, as the service becomes more popular and used more and more, their URLs will cease to
be so tiny.
Another reason to post both the original URL and the "tiny" one is that some people are afraid to
open, or are blocked from opening, tinyurls. You may claim the url is a nice little website about
bicycling in the rain, but evilly, you have made a tiny a url about vegetable worship and ritual
sacrifice (http://www.ebeneezer.net/ritual/vegetable/).
I try to remember to post both.

Doh! I thought they did for some reason. Of course, then there is the argument about whether the
service will exist in five years (fire / flood / famine / bankruptcy / overthrow by sentient
machines [1]). The address space expands exponentially with each additional digit, so it should be
compact for quite a while.

Sigh. No pictures of thousands of carrots in a seething, roaring mass committing horrible acts of
immorality in a demonic orgy? I feel like I should cry "False Advertising!".

That's been my practice in the past.
