After George W., I didn't think it possible that the republicans could find a dumber candidate. Wrong again.

What do you suppose the answer is to the security question, where did you meet your spouse?

The attack on Governor Sarah Palin’s privacy is inexcusable. Americans have constitutional guarantees, among them the right to be secure in their papers. But who hasn't had to "hack" into their own accounts because of a lost or forgotten password. Hack, is really the wrong word in this context. And, the governor wasn't conducting state business on a Yahoo account, yet the litany of government computer malfeasance is indeed staggering. In a hastily worded statement the Associated Press informed the Secret Service, “No way dude, are we givin’ up them emails. Ask anybody; she got hacked fair & square. Like get your own story man, this one’s ours.” Due to the nature of the electronic medium, the Palin case should be groundbreaking.

Again, Mr. cell phone is not your friend: whenever one’s cell phone is switched on, just turned on, even if it's not a GPS enabled device, it emits a signal that anyone who obtains your SIM card number may track with an array of inexpensive software. GOOGLE GPS tracking devices. The phone’s speaker can also be remotely activated for use as a listening device. Perhaps you’re wondering, as did I, how certain individuals seem to know your whereabouts, or manage to show up when and where they do. High tech lends the good, the bad & the ugly a level of sophistication hitherto unimagined. Suggest: remove the battery when not in use: http://theseedsof9-11.com

@renee: You're right of course. In a way, though, I prefer that ("I don't use email") to someone who knows just enough to be dangerous. Sure, McCain probably should know more about technology (this is assuming he doesn't know that much). But email has its downside too. At least if he doesn't know how to use it, he won't be sending sensitive information through a web-based email account.

If computer literacy is your standard for a candidate, you don't even need go as far as Palin; the guy on the top of the ticket doesn't even know how to use email.

@ Maeby: thanks.

@ leahsmom: I thought the same thing. How could any document, email or otherwise, be somehow exempt from a subpoena?

I kind of think that, if you use personal accounts for government business - shouldn't that be subpoena-able, as well? I mean, maybe the lawyers wouldn't know to ask - but aren't you just running the risk that all your smarmy personal emails are going to go to court along with the official stuff? I don't get how that was supposed to protect her - outside of the disgusting overtones of "hey, I'm not really being honest in doing my job, so I have to hide it from y'all."
