I just received an email at my Yahoo! account which looks and feels a lot like spam, but came from a .gov account. Is it possible for the sender to disguise his URL when sending email? The only other option is that the Federal Government has outsourced their email marketing to the same company as the African Princes that need your help to inherit their fathers fortunes.
Well, if you say your 100% legitimate, how can I argue with that?

The Internet is abuzz with Ron Paul because of his message. I am always too optimistic when it comes to underdogs, but I hope his campaign supporters continue to grow. That is why I am sharing this video. The networks aren’t going to cover him ever, but he does have a chance to become the people’s president. Which is how it should be anyways.
It’s a 65 minute video, but the talk is more important and more entertaining than any hour long tv show that you could possible find. Please post this video if you have a website or email this link to a friend.

When you buy a lottery ticket you aren’t really buying a chance to win a bazillion dollars. What your dollar purchase actually get you is the 24-48 hours worth of daydreaming “What if I did win?” The ticket that lets you live in the fantasy for a little while is well-worth the dollar you spent even if you will never win the cash.
This is exactly what the first iPhone users bought on June 29th. They weren’t purchasing a mobile device to make calls and surf the Internet – that was already available for $25 in the Motorola Q. The first iPhone buyers were purchasing that weekend’s worth of attention. If you had the iPhone the girl in the coffee shop or that guy on the train new that you were on the leading edge and important enough to have the hottest piece of silicon east of Jessica Simpson’s right tit.
What makes me a little sad is all of the Apple fanboys that flippantly threw $600 down for the iPhone are now complaining about $200. Worse yet now they are so easily appeased by $100. What would that girl in the coffee shop think now??
The real issue though is Steve Jobs’ mastery of the situation. Does anyone really believe that this 9/6 announcement wasn’t in the works when the phone was released on 6/29? This $100gift card was in the budget back in January and Apple pulled it off brilliantly.
Cheers to Apple and the best PR in the World.

This is a really cool site to cut through the bullshit of politics. The site asks your opinion on 23 different political issues. Answer how you really feel and then the site tells you which candidate shares the same views as you do.
This surprised me and it will probably surprise you to. Only use this if you want to make rational decisions, not just emotional ones.
Find out which candidate matches my views.
