From the what-the-heck dept. I got what seems like a bulk (spam) email supposedly from Congressman John F. Tierney. I certainly never signed up for anything like this. I may have given this email address (this was sent to a private addr, not available on this site) to the Gov’t when getting my driver’s license or paying the local taxes, but it seems insane to think that a Congressman would have the nerve to spam all residents like this. Furthermore, I moved away and have not been a resident of the People’s Republic of Massachusetts since October of 2000. If you’re going to keep a list of residents, and if you’re then going to use that list to send bulk email that would be better aimed at your loyal base, then the very least you can do is clean out the list once in a while?
I’ve never been a fan of passing laws to fight spam, but I am of the opinion that lawmakers shouldn’t join in and make it worse.
Could someone be this clueless?
Bonus question: Who paid for this?
Clickie for the full view.
I take on some blame for being stupid enough to volunteer my email to the Gov’t in the first place. I’m sure I could have left it blank or used a bogus address. But still. Good greif.
I noticed this halfway down:
No, gas prices aren’t hurting my technology company too badly. Now taxes, on the other hand…

My Music
Do you like electronic music? Do you like free stuff? Are you okay with amateur music from someone who's learning? Yes? Because that's what this is.
Skyrim Thieves Guild
The Thieves Guild quest in Skyrim is a vortex of disjointed plot-holes, contrivances, and nonsense.
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
It sounds like we need to have a good old stickin’ it to the man rally.

Liberals are morons. There’s almost no way to get around it.
