U.S. World's Foremost Spam Nation In 2004

der Kopf writes "As reported by ZDNet, '42 percent of all spam sent this year came from the United States,' which makes the U.S. the unthreatened king of the 2004 spam hill. Number two on the list is South Korea (with 13.43%), while China can be found in third place (with 8.44%). The U.S. put out more spam this year than all the other countries in the top 12 combined." All depends who's counting, I guess.

but Bush really did win this time, but such a margine that even if there was voter tampering, it wasn't needed. And really, who's surprised. It was too rich dudes against each other. Kerry's only campaign promise was that we wasn't Bush (I still voted for him, lesser of two evils and all). They both supported the work visa program (oh yeah, give 20 million poor desparate Mexicans free reign to work in the US, that's a great idea), Kerry wasn't exactly anti-war, just anti-Bush's-war.

Something that was pointed out to me for why people like Bush (by rotten.com of all people) is that he provides simple solutions to complex problems. Sure they don't work work, but he makes people believe that with a little hard work and Gumption everything will be all right, and their children's future isn't busy being sold down the river to India/China. People don't want to be told that stuff like outsourcing, energy, environment and war are complex, multifacted issues. Any candidate that tries is going to lose. I guess Americans will get what they deserve in the long run, but it sucks for the few innocent who see it comming and can't really do much about it.
