I've turned off comments for the blog temporarily. There is a vile spambot that has hit up the comments over 100 times. (I've lost count) and was still continuing up until a few moments ago.
I'll turn everything back on in a day or so and see if the rejection holds.
Sorry for the inconvenience. -Mike

Spam du jour
I got an email this evening, chock full of links to click on. It said, in part:
He then went on to tout his own article. "Your piece" was a link to one of my Friday Night Babe posts. Not sure exactly what ideas it gave him, but nothing that would entice me to click any of the links or waste my time replying.
I was doing some quick research on college conservatives and came across your piece. It gave me talking ideas for the article I wrote, so I was hoping to get some feedback from you.

Stupid Spam Tricks - Fed Ex Division
I got some spam in my folder this AM and it's just so stupid on so many fronts...
First of all, it's from "fedex_courier@outlook.com". Don'tcha think an outfit as big as Fed Ex could afford their own domain name?
Second, if someone was going to send me money, don't you think they'd have used a check or a wire transfer instead?
But, by some great coincidence, my Uncle Guido*, who launders money for the mob, regularly sends me large bundles of cash, in small, unmarked bills, that unfortunately have higher than usual traces of cocaine on them. But even Uncle Guido isn't dumb enough not to prepay the shipping.
So, no, I won't be calling. If you'd like the number to call, you can feel free to pick up the package, (along with the dye packs and wireless GPS from the Feds), I'll happily give you the number...for only $150.00 USD. You're welcome!
*I know that sounds like a horrible racial stereotype. "Uncle Guido" is actually a pseudonym for my longtime, childhood friend, Eric Holder.
You have a package of $800,000,00 USD with FedEx awaiting an outstanding payment of $150. Call xxx-xxx-xxxx
