Holiday greetings

Two weeks ago the Detroit Free Press published a profile of a sleazy character who had become a millionaire through operating email spamming services. The unrepentant, arrogant shit even bragged about how much more spam he would send out in coming years. Well, now he's getting a taste of his own medicine, as disgusted computer users route thousands of catalogs and other "snail mail spam" to his McMansion.

In other news, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill has resigned. O'Neill, in the tradition of Republicans making fantastically absurd statements, once said "If you set aside Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, the safety record of nuclear (power) is really very good."
