Nothing like getting lots of un-filtered SPAM AND loads of Forwarded jokes from your friends, all right about the same time when you are getting Campaign e-mail and invites to Volunteer for Campaign work, etc. It really got annoying after a while.
Well, along with a few old President Clinton jokes that I either never read or didn't really think were very funny with GWBush looming on the horizon, I guess I did get a few good ones back then, like this one:

activity..

Having
