Text Bomb, Text Bomb

Text scams have turned even nastier. Not only do these attempt to con people into forking out money but now they are even used for political ends, to tarnish the names and reputations of politicians.

I got the following this morning from +639268225950:

Congrat's ur sim # had won 2nd prize winner worth of [Php 750,000] via electronic raffle last Oct/17/09! to claim ur prize call me now! Im: Atty. Mark D. Mendez Per dti#3302 s'09! ito po ay pamaskong handog ng AQUINO FAMILY!

Hmm, maybe I should text this to KRIS and send to 2366.

Too Cheesy for Me

My wife saw this tucked under the car's windshield yesterday afternoon in S&R the Fort.

I guess he's hell bent on seeking the presidency this 2010.  Despite his dip in popularity in the latest surveys.

Last Monday, 12 October, when he was supposed to announce his plans for next year's elections, he instead announced that he was postponing his announcement because he was prioritizing relief efforts for victims of Typhoon Pepeng.

That was the right thing to do. But why make the announcement on TV Patrol through an exclusive interview by Karen Davila? Is it because his new 30-second commercial was launched on the same evening telecast?

You're a good man, Mr. Senator. And you're still young. Why the rush?

Remember, cheese only gets better with age.

Save your energy and resources for 2016. Take it from Spencer Johnson --- whose bestselling book you've obviously taken the liberty to copy --- and read "the handwriting on the wall."

"The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you can enjoy new cheese."
