You magnificent bastard

I'm sure you're familiar with the fake-lottery spam, right? You receive an email that says you're being notified that your email address won some European state lottery, as if lottery entries were made by email, and as if you could win without entering. People who are greedy are dumb, and there must be a few who fall for it.

Well, from the lottery email I received today I now know who's behind this phony lottery scheme. It's the magnificent bastard himself:

Contact our accredited claims agent Mr. Karl Rove, for immediate processing of your winning with the information below;

Name: Karl Rove
E-mail: uknational_officerove@yahoo.co.uk
I always knew there was more to this than appeared on the surface. Undoubtedly, this is a scheme to dupe the Obama campaign into revealing sensitive campaign strategy. Be forewarned.
