My heart grew three sizes today.

Last night I got two spams in a row that I presume are from the same human, in that both subject lines refer obscurely to Paris Hilton and the message bodies are very similar. The sender names intrigued me, though: Birdcage J. Loam & Canteens B. Ninepins.
How could I not look further? The first line of Mr. Loam's message read "Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two." Whoa. But then some kinda standard see-Paris-do-it boilerplate (but again, oblique). The closer: "Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get." Whaaaa?
The other one wasn't nearly as good but followed the same format. I wonder if their URL even takes us anywhere. Spam art?

I don't usually link
to online quizzes, but this one delivers your pirate name, and pirates are the new monkeys. I'm "Red Tom Rackham," and I rather like it.

Smells like a rumor-prank,
But come on: how cool would it be to have JC in public office?

OK, let me get this straight: Bush says they're excluding France, Germany and Russian companies from bidding on Iraq-rebuilding gigs* because their countries didn't risk any soldiers in the invasion. Does this make any sense to anyone? Did any American companies risk anything? Of course not - Halliburton, for example, would have made money regardless of the outcome of this war, which cost them nothing. Is Bush saying US troops are taking risks for US corporations? Could he be that stupid?
* Under the circumstances, it's probably best not to call this "pork."
