Congress just passed a law which says that porn related spam must have

1) "Sexually-Explicit" in the header

2)  No porn images ebedded in the email.

Nice idea, but somehow I don't think that the spammers will comply.  Personally, I'm tired of all the various spam (get viagra online, new business opportunity, porn spam) and I'd be happy if there was something in the headers that would clue me in to delete it without having to read it.

This is the least of our worries. Ashcroft is going after porn. He wants everyone to be as uptight and old fashioned as he is.

This is the same guy who doesn't dance because he thinks it's too sexual and spent 8,000 bucks on a toga to put over a statue he stands in front of for press conferences because part of the statue's breast is exposed, the same statue that has been stood in front of for fifty years.

We gotta get these loonies out of office.

Ashcroft is really living in the past.  Seriously, the human body should not be such a bad thing to see.
