• KNOCK IT OFF CRETINS: A number of commenters have recently gotten the ax for writing a bunch of foul unfunny garbage in the comments. Before you hit “Submit” on your latest masterpiece involving female genitals, minors, or anal rape, please think about whether this makes you look like a cretinous woman-hating loser.

Have you purchased a used computer recently? If so, you could be in possession of stolen personal information for millions of U.S. veterans and active-duty military personnel. The Post reports:

Montgomery County police released a description yesterday of the stolen laptop and its external hard drive because they said it may have been purchased by someone who does not realize the value of its content. “It could have shown up at a yard sale or a secondhand store,” police spokeswoman Lucille Baur said. “This is a time of the year when parents may be buying computers for kids going to college in the fall.”

Montgomery County police are offering a $50,000 reward for information that allows authorities to recover the laptop. The computer is a Hewlett-Packard model zv5360us and the external hard drive is an HP External Personal Media Drive.

After the jump, an open letter to the VA, from a Wonkette reader and veteran whose personal information was stolen.
