Rep. Bill Jones Thinks Spam is "Innovative"

GMontag writes "Wired is running this story:Candidate: Spam in Every Pot about candidate-for-governor Bill Jones' spam campaigning. The most telling quote: "Jones spokesman Darrel Ng said the e-mail wasn't spam, commonly defined as unsolicited commercial e-mail. Ng instead classified Jones' non-commercial mass-mailing as an "innovative way to use the Internet.'" Another interesting item: "An examination of the e-mail sent out by the Jones campaign revealed forged headers. The e-mail, purportedly sent from an MSN.com address, was actually routed through the server of an elementary school in Chonnam, Korea.""

the only way we can get there is for all of us to make our voices heard, and to use the system to fight the system. as many have said before,

Or if you think that the system is fundamentally broken you could just decide to emulate our forefathers and shoot all the sons of bitches. I'm game.

Geez, Wil. Given that the traditional Democratic voter demographic has included "dead people", I don't see what's so unusual about a Republican having a voter demographic that includes "people with email addresses."
