This Spam’s An Abortion

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

I never thought I’d say this, but spam can be enlightening.

I’m referring to a recent spam flurry promoting home abortion kits. And we have Republicans to thank for this disturbing trend. After all, newly empowered Republicans have been targeting abortion rights in a big way. And at the state level they’ve been very successful at severely limiting women’s reproductive rights.

Who knew that when Republicans claimed to be pro-small business, they were talking about abortion kit scam artists?

That brings me to my latest limerick:

Great Spam-Fighting News For WordPress Bloggers

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I don’t usually write about computers and technology, unless I’m writing humor, limericks, and haiku about sundry computer, spam, software, web withdrawal, email, voice mail, and other techie aggravations on my other (non-political humor) blog.

But I feel compelled to share a wonderful (and free) plugin I just discovered that does a miraculous job of fighting spam — so miraculous, in fact, that the spam never even appears on your WordPress blog moderation queue. I’ve posted all about it here on my other blog. Download it, install it, and enjoy all the extra time you have to make fun of the GOP.
