Democrat Spam (ick)
Somehow, I signed up for Dick Durbin's tin foil hat newsletter. I don't remember exactly the ad I clicked on to do said action, so I can't refer anyone else to do it. After the first 'newsletter', I decided that this was useful as an insight into the left's mindset. That was until today, when I got an e-mail from the DCCC. It isn't that I mind getting more insight into their strategies and ideas and whatnot, I'm miffed that Durbin's website provided THEM with my e-mail address. It was either them or Tim Mahoney's campaign. So much for the spam-free GMail account I had.
However, for those interested in what the DCCC e-mail had to say:

If they're not associated with a candidate or a candidate's committee, how did they get my e-mail address and why do they think I'm a "top supporter"? Lucky freakin me.
