Every morning, I go through the list of comments and unpublish all the comment spam. Typically, the comment spam tries to engage with the blog content in what I can only suppose is an attempt to not look like spam. In this morning's comment queue was this gem that I had to share, purporting to be from "Best Financial Blog":
Definitely Elizabeth Warren is a good senator. Warren is also a good blog poster. He always posts a good and informative post. He also belongs to Financial Protection Bureau, which is a good thing. He always posts a good blog.
A piece of friendly advice to the business firm — yes, I know who it is — who paid someone to spam our blog. Whatever you're paying them, it's too much.

Call me a dreamer of utopian pipe dreams but I suspect that somewhere software exists capable of distinguishing between common feminine and masculine names.
Do they really think the peeps are that dumb?
Bob,
I just think the spammers are almost never Americans, nor are they native english speakers.
That sounds like a script, or someone using machine translation. And there is a URL in the sig, right?
That’s to get their google Page Rank up.
