What the hell is up with people!? And I know it's because you can see my email here. Those damned republicans are trying to sabotage me, and it's getting ridiculous. We should be able to sue these retards if we could find out who they are.

3. I don't see any smileys.
I assume you aren't serious, right? If you are, know that these things tend to mail themselves (and the address in the 'from:' is often meaningless).

4. It wasn't people trying to send you a virus
It was a virus that mails itself as an attachment using the address book on the sender's PC. They're not stupid or malicious--just infected.
