New list of no-no words
Make an effort to use at least one of these words in every post from here on out. A significantly larger list than the 7 words you can’t say on television.

Hmmm…well, after doing some research, it doesn’t sound so much as a list of no-no words that will be flagged so they can check you out for illegal activity, but rather, it looks like Homeland Security is now going to use bloggers and other forms of social media reporters as unwitting info gatherers. Homeland Security wants to be aware of any potential incident that involves mass casualties, but instead of putting in their own hard work and research, they’re hoping that bloggers and other social media people will post stuff that will give them the info they need.
So, when you put ‘tornado’ for instance in the title of your post, and perhaps strewn throughout the body of the post, the monitoring system will flag it and they will look closer to see if there’s an incident brewing they need to know about.
Basically, it looks like Homeland Security is trying to save money and keep on top of things at the same time. If you post about catastrophic weather in your area, say a tornado hits your town, well, then you’ve saved Homeland Security the time, effort and money it would have taken them to gather that info for themselves.
Basically, you will be doing the work of Homeland Security desk jockey for free.
I still say, let’s use as many of these words as much as possible, as often as possible. If the lazy pukes in the offices of Homeland Security are going to use my work for free, then hell, let’s make them work their asses off by overloading them with flagged articles for them to review.
Count on it: no matter what the stated purpose is, some “feddle gummint bureaucrap” will be sure to use the list as a means of harassing citizens. It’s a 100% certainty.
I think I pretty much do already.
