Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has had some recent controversy involving her use of personal email (read: Yahoo email address) to do government work. Using personal email prevented Palin from having to disclose anything discussed in those emails, but internet activist group “anonymous” hacked her email last night, gaining access to stuffed inbox within. Government sunshine site Wikileaks.org reports they were handed the contents of the mailbox around midnight, and have so graciously been hosting the files (also on Rapidshare if Wikileaks goes down).
I have no idea if this is real, but Gawker makes some convincing arguments. This is pretty amazing.
Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment of President George W. Bush to the House of Representatives yesterday. The articles took almost 5 hours to read, and included the crimes themselves plus the evidence. All that is left now is the vote. (via mefi)
