And if you use Firefox, they have a Firefox plugin that makes it even 
easier. Once the plug-in is installed, you just right click (assuming 
you're a Windoze user) in the username bos on the site's login page 
and choose "Log in using BugMeNot". The plug-in queries the BugMeNot 
database and automagically inserts a username/password for you. If, 
for some reason that username/password doesn't work, then it keeps 
retrieving other usernames/passwords until it finds a pair that does.

 Sen. Barack Obama, meanwhile, flirts with the option of
 accepting public funds if he receives the Democratic
 nomination, but doesn't commit. The man has never ruled
 out an option in his life. We're pretty sure there's
 still a folder marked "Falwell-Obama '08" somewhere in
 his office.
