Calling All The Lawyers
Somebody is subscribing to magazines in my name, and I just got a book club subscription (a box of books and an invoice arrived today). (The day I buy a book by Sean Hannity is the day you know I've gone totally insane.) Anyway, I'm trying to figure out my rights in this. One site I found says I don't have to send them back -- that I can keep the books. Clearly, this is fraud on somebody's part. Is anybody informed about the law and my rights in this arena? P.S. Judging by the contents of the box of books, let's just say it's unlikely they were sent by a left-winger or an atheist.
"let's just say it's unlikely they were sent by a left-winger or an atheist."
Yeah, it sounds like they were sent by someone who knows full well that you're fond of bashing the policies of Cheney/Rove and the idea of God. And where else would they get to know you in this way, except through your blog? I believe the enemy is in our midst!
PS: Sean Hannity is so gross. I wouldn't read his books, because just the sight of the covers -- with his pasty, Irish mug -- makes me want to retch. Before I got a sex change operation and changed my name to Lena Cuisina, I used to look like Sean Hannity too. Now, as a thoroughly modern transvestite, I prefer that lean, Connecticutt-y WASP girl with the nice hair... what's-her-name. Adorable!

They also sent me "The South Beach Diet" -- hi, if I get any thinner at this point, I won't be able to fit into American clothes! And Dr. Laura, and John Podhoretz, and a book on Bush and god. And a subscription to National Geographic Adventurer that I didn't order. I'm sure more are on their way. I've already got one crime I'm dealing with -- heh heh...people should know better than to fuck with my cars. I'm going to nail the guy to the wall. Unfortunately, the first part of the nailing entailed spending four hours in Santa Monica's police station, waiting to make a report. More on this soon!

Postal fraud's federal, ain't it?
Also, what is the magic of Sean Hannity? (When you throw away your TV set, a lot of silly people cease [or fail] to exist.)
We might agree that one component of Limbaugh's success is the humor in his showmanship. But the one 20-minute stretch spent listening to SH on the radio last summer offered no source for his apparent fame. So what is the deal?

Seem's your mother might have been right after all, eh? Telling the truth is less important than how you tell the truth. Being a smart-ass cunt with a sharp tongue got you into trouble? I can't say I feel sorry.
The next time you take pen in hand think of the consequences first. The jokester who sent the conservative crap may send something even more disgusting next time. You go guy!

A-11: if your chosen method to counter ideas/arguments you disagree with is to do something irritating and/or criminal to the speaker/writer, your last name is either Corleone or Caveman.

Heh heh...right on, Nancy! And how you tell the truth is unimportant when you are living in a society of civilized people -- of which you clearly are not one. I am a passionate defender of democracy and free speech, and one way to defend free speech is by being outspoken. Unfortunately, you attack my being outspoken, but don't have the intellect or wherewithall to debate what I said. There is a price to being outspoken, and to telling the data-based truth in my column. Beyond getting magazine subscriptions from people who think nothing of commiting fraud, it's that I don't run in as many papers as I could if I wrote pablum. I'm currently getting a slew of letters from women who, basically, don't like the facts of male vs. female biology. I'll post that column in a few weeks. (I can't compete with papers and run what they do on the exact weeks, or I'll soon be out of a lot of jobs.
Crid -- Limbaugh, agree with him or not, is a brilliant broadcaster. Hannity is just a man-cow stirring up hate with lies.
PS By the way, at second glance, I think I can keep these books since I didn't order them, if that page I linked to is correct, and what that means is that the fraud was perpetrated on the right-wing bookseller they ordered them from in my name.

Crid, did you throw yours out? Way to go, dude. The only time I turn my TV on is when I'm watching porno videos. I'd much rather watch close-ups of buttholes getting plowed open than any of that stupid "Will and Grace" bullshit.

... and the living is easy.

I find that when I fraudulently sign people up for Book clubs and magazine subsriptions that they are immediately persuaded to my way of thinking. It's like magic and until someone on the other side of the fence reverses it with their own fraud life is glorious.
