As long as the kids are having fun, that's all that matters
by JeremyHas anyone gotten spam from the people who run the yesbushcan.com and cheneybush.com websites? (I believe both domains resolve to the same site, but frankly life is too short for me to bother checking again).
It's supposed to lure imperialist Bush apologizing dupes like myself into signing up for stuff that will embarrass us later, I guess. You can invite these ostensible Bush supporters (who are really -- gasp! -- Indymedia types) to your Bush rallies and stuff, and it looks like you can add Bush "campaign" feeds to your blog that, I would assume, will say things on your website that will make you look stupid.
By all means visit their site, who cares.
The spam they sent me was an inducement to fact check all sorts of documents such as dui (or dwi, depending on where you're from) reports for Bush and Cheney the same way we clever 'conservative' bloggers exposed the false CBS documents. You get the idea.
Here is their whois info. The address in France at the bottom is the registrar; I don't know if they have any direct connection to the content mentioned above. But if anyone has any clue who these people actually are, it would make an amusing story -- kind of call their bluff on the invitation to spot the phony document. I didn't come up with anything much upon quickly searching via Google. Maybe you know who they are. This does it for me, though. I've got it off my chest:

Jeremy,
I got that, too. I forwarded it to Powerline with the whois info. I hope that other bloggers are similarly astute and saw the obvious trap.

I forwarded it to Powerline
Good idea.
We will, of course, print anything Karl Rove tells us to, but these guys didn't use the secret password. So I knew they weren't legit.

Fortunately, my tinfoil hat allows me to tune into Rove's brainwaves directly as he beams his instructions to the faithful. so I don't need a password. So I've got that going for me...
