This article from BBC News is a delightful read for anyone who has received an email from the personal assistant to a prince in Nigeria who is waiting to wire you millions of dollars, if only you’ll supply your bank details. I am filled with such joy when creative people find clever ways to turn the tables.

For instance, the pictures at right come from freewayblogger.com, a site that used to be a voice in the wilderness. But after a few years of daily reports of death and destruction in the news, public opinion has circled around and freewayblogger looks sort of tame and mainstream. Sort of. What surprises me is how Lee Iacocca, liberal fruitcake that he is, has come out with a book that, from what I can tell, is intended to emphatically make the case that our current adminstration are a bunch of incompetent buffoons, and in so many words. Good. (We knew that already, but thanks for chiming in, Lee.)

And of course, I’m with the BBC: Reprinting the email exchanges that go along with such endeavors is a hoot. My most recent, in case you were longing for closure in the copyright infringement story, has been taken off the main page and out of the post list, per my agreement with the gentleman who borrowed the photo. It is now sequestered away here: I Never Thought the DMCA Would Be My Friend.
