I find it interesting that many of the spam emails I get offering me quick loans (usually on the order of a thousand or fifteen hundred or so) use the word “loot” in the subject line to describe the funds (e.g., “We’ve got the loot the get back in your bankroll!”). I wonder if this is a deliberate connotation of theft, or just a poor understanding of the historical meaning of the word on the part of the spammer?

- If you like your doctor and your insurance, you can keep them.
- I’ll go through the budget line by line and find places to cut.
- It’s not a tax. Except when it is.
- I will cut the deficit in half.
- If we pass this stimulus, unemployment will never go above eight percent.
I could go on and on.
