(you gotta) fight for your right to party

There is an article in the most recent rolling stone about Jack Abramoff, the super lobbyist who has suddenly thrown Washington into full on scramble mode. Scrambling because they don’t want to be listed as Abramoff supporters, which is a good idea since the fucker was convicted of a number of crimes including fraud and … Read more

everybody wants to rule the world

6togo recently posted a link to a website called hollabacknyc (i won’t link it to avoid giving this moronic blog more publicity than it deserves)… you’d think it was something fun, carefree, ghetto… whatever, but it isn’t… it is a rather misguided attempt to give voice to “street harassment.” I say misguided because you don’t … Read more

here comes the rain

Oh, it all started … Read more

I love to fuck with people. I love to fuck with people who cheat even more… a few days ago I received one of those phishing emails that you occasionally get… you know the kind where some "barrister" from Nigeria or Zimbabwe emails you and lets you know that 1) a distant family member has died; and 2) you stand to inherit a vast sum of money.

The following is the message I received and my response… let’s see where it goes… if anywhere.
