Michael Moore’s e-mail
Filed Under Media Shitheadery | Leave a Comment
While I think Michael Moore is a self indulgent, radical, blow hard, I have to admit the e-mail, written by him, I got this morning was worth a read.
I generally treat these “emails” with some speculation, but this one’s on his site.
Besides, if it’s on the Internet it must be true.

New e-mail hoax
Filed Under Political Shitheadery | Leave a Comment
Forget Nigeria, this one’s even better.
Dear American:
I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
The new e-mail hoax:
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s.
This transaction is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.
Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson
Thanks Alan

Palin hacked by Anonymous
Filed Under Political Shitheadery | Leave a Comment
Anonymous, the same hacker group that broke into Scientology, hacked Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail.
Time has an article here. In the article they reference the site, www.wikileaks.org on which the e-mails were posted. Reaching that site is another story all together. The site has either been taken down, or overloaded. Another site, www.wikileak.org (no “s”), has posted a message for people who reach that site by mistake. The blogger on wikileak seems to be very upset by what ever happens on wikileakS.
The site’s (the one with no “s”) intent is to discuss what’s happening on the other site (with an “s”) and now he’s pissed off that people are on his site.
As one commenter put it, “… obviously tyrannical people who would dedicate a blog, to be a copy cat of another blog are just asking to be found here.”
I would kill for more traffic (not literally) and this guy is upset that he’s getting it. Why not politely tell people they’re in the wrong place, but hang out in the mean time?
He would have been better off posting ads.
Posting comments on his site, however, are subject to his approval, so who knows whether mine will show up. starting my comment with, “You ignorant douche,” may not have been the best idea, in retrospect.
As far as Palin’s e-mails … I’m still looking for those.
