Spammers Announce World War III
schliz writes with the stub of a disheartening article at IT News: "Hackers are deluging web users with malware-laden spam claiming that World War III has started following a US invasion of Iran. Security experts warned [yesterday] that spam emails with subject lines including 'Third World War has begun,' '20000 US Soldiers in Iran,' and 'US Army crossed Iran's borders' have been intercepted. The emails contain links to a malicious webpage that displays what appears to be a video player showing the mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion."

There is currently a lot of controversy about John McCain's opinions, and I know that any letter on the subject will almost certainly cause someone to hoodoo us. Still, McCain craves adulation and attendance. Instead of focusing on why McCain should just face the facts, I would like to remind people that McCain's lies come in many forms. Some of his lies are in the form of bait-and-switch tactics. Others are in the form of declamations. Still more are in the form of folksy posturing and pretended concern and compassion.
If I seem a bit fickle, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with McCain on his own level. When you get right down to it, I am deliberately using colorful language in this letter. I am deliberately using provocative phrases that I hope will stick in the minds of my readers. I do ensure, however, that my words are always appropriate and accurate and clearly explain how sometimes I think that McCain is simply a willing pawn of those birdbrained, uncompromising humanity-haters who shift our society from a culture of conscience to a culture of consensus. I typically drop that willing-pawn notion, however, whenever I remember that McCain apparently believes that the best way to make a point is with foaming-at-the-mouth rhetoric and letters filled primarily with exclamation points. You and I know better than that. You and I know that McCain's schemes are continually evolving into more and more shrewish incarnations. Here, I'm not just talking about evolution in a simply Darwinist sense; I'm also talking about how if McCain's theories get any more effete, I expect they'll grow legs and attack me in my sleep.
Anyone who has spent much time wading through the pious, obscurantist, jargon-filled cant that now passes for "advanced" thought in the humanities already knows that McCain is the great master of deception. What may be news, however, is that he likes to cite poll results that "prove" that big emotions come from big words. Really? Have you ever been contacted by one of his pollsters? Chances are good that you never have been contacted and never will be. Otherwise, the polls would show that I need your help if I'm ever to focus on concrete facts, on hard news, on analyzing and interpreting what's happening in the world. "But I'm only one person," you might protest. "What difference can I make?" The answer is: a lot more than you think. You see, McCain insists that diseases can be defeated not through standard medical research but through the creation of a new language, one that does not stigmatize certain groups and behaviors. Has anyone, at any time, ever been more wrong? Personally, I don't believe the answer has anything to do with nihilism. Rather, I believe it involves McCain's tendency to wage an odd sort of warfare upon a largely unprepared and unrecognizing public.
As a general rule, McCain's values are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're completely rancorous, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, when a friend wants to drive inebriated, you try to stop him. Well, McCain is drunk with power, which is why we must reinforce what is best in people.
If you're still reading this letter, I wish to compliment you for being sufficiently open-minded to understand that there is an unpleasant fact, painful to the tender-minded, that one can deduce from the laws of nature. This fact is also conclusively established by direct observation. It is a fact so obvious that rational people have always known it and no one doubted it until McCain and his thralls started trying to deny it. The fact to which I am referring states that if you think that this is humorous or exaggerated, you're wrong. He should stop calling me a reckless marauder. Although I've been called worse things by better people, McCain's blanket statements may have been conceived in idealism, but they quickly degenerated into prissy charlatanism.
Be always mindful that just the other day, some of McCain's socially inept votar

Now this is no bullshit a friend, of mine knew this guy that had his penis amputated in an industrial accident, the doctors tried to reattach it but the ends were too mangled to work with, Next they tried an experimental surgery and attached a piece of elephant's trunk instead. After 6 weeks the doctors gave him permission to try out the new equipment so he took his honey out to dinner. Over dinner with his girlfriend his "penis" unzipped his pants, reached out, grabbed a dinner roll and pulled under the table. His girlfriend, couldn't quite believe what she saw until it happened again so she finally said "Is that going to happen all night?" and the guy replied "I hope not, I don't think another dinner roll will fit up my ass."
