Ahh, Bill Maher is back. “Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, finally a candidate who can explain the Administration’s positions on civil liberties in the original German.”

Uh, what? This is another Dimensional Warp Generator spam, but it’s totally different:

Hello,

I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.

I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life

forms.

In terms of payment:
I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit.

Please transport unit in either a large brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Monday July 28th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Standard Time on the dot. A few minutes prior will be ok, but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me.

Twenty-three inches in from the outside edge of the corner at the South West
Corner of Cummings Ave. & Village Street in Woburn, Mass. is at Latitude
42.4845467 & Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3' above sea level.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!!
(NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT ANYTHING SO FAR WITHOUT THE TRANSFER BEING DEFLECTED). I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER.

Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now.

After unit has been sent please email me at: [removed]
with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.

Thank You

Roundup of more unsettling news stories this morning. BBC: Wolfowitz:
waiting for “murky intelligence” to solidify is too time-consuming.
Washington Post: FDA
approves use of HGH for healthy – simply short –
kids.

Bizarre article from the SF Chronicle providing tips for
individuals to help
avoid litigation by the RIAA. “For starters, legal experts
advise file-sharers to stop sharing any unauthorized files. That action
could, though not necessarily, eliminate the need for more costly legal
steps if a file-sharer learns he or she has been caught in the Recording
Industry Association of America’s copyright infringement dragnet.”
