Somehow the email I’m copying below made it through my spam filter.  I share it because it openly, one could say even enthusiastically, invites me and the million other people it targeted to join them in being an international scumbag.  It also purports to be from the chairman of a major investment firm in Singapore.  Actually it looks like an investment firm tied directly to the government in Singapore.  Really in terms of spam it’s a nice change of pace from all the stuff that’s supposed to put hair back on my head and give me a renewed sexual vigor.  Here it is:
