    David Kernell is the 20-year-old son of Tennessee’s Democratic Representative Mike Kernell, and David got caught red-handed. Based on the CNN account “Democratic lawmaker's son indicted in Palin hacking,” David reset the password of GOP vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account. David allegedly read the contents, took screenshots, and got a hold of other private information. Some of the information believed to be compromised includes Palin’s address book, photos of family and friends, contact phone numbers, and family birthdates among other things. Ironically, although David Kernell turned himself in, he pled not guilty. Why would he plead not guilty after he took the information he hacked from Palin’s personal account and posted it to a public website? Not only did David post Palin’s personal information to the public site, but he posted the new password he created, which made it possible for others to access and view Palin’s e-mail account. As a consequence, David Kernell could serve five years in jail, pay a $250,000 fine, and be subject to three years of supervised release. At the maximum of $1,500 per loan, that fine would require approximately 167 individual payday loans to free himself from the confines of prison

    Philadelphia Phillies have won their first World Series in 28 years. The last time they climbed to the top of the mountain (1980), Mike Schmidt, Pete Rose and Steve Carlton showed the American League the meaning of spirited, winning baseball. Today, as emotions run high and the city of Philadelphia gears up for celebration of their boys bringing home the Commissioner’s Trophy, pillars of the community like Temple University are preparing for mass rioting. According to Dean of Students Ainsley Carry, “Students involved in vandalism, refusal to disperse, destruction of property, etc. will face both criminal and University disciplinary action. Sanctions may range from fines up to and including immediate suspension. Surveillance – including videotaping – is heightened during the Series on campus and throughout the city.”
    I’m all for personal responsibility, which includes showing respect for others and their property. But is the feel of a police state crackdown necessary? Wait, this is Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love. Of course it is necessary.

    Guys, listen up! Did you think about the issues before you voted? I hope that most of you did, but who knows? Some of us think more about whether or not to take out a payday advance. Case in point: listen to this audio clip, from a recent episode of the “Howard Stern Show”. (It was posted by BPM DJ’s of Pittsburgh.) Roving Reporter Sal went out getting opinions of people on the street, to see whether they supported Obama or McCain for President, and whether they were voting for Obama on the basis of race, or just because he’s black. Sal got his samples from Harlem, in New York City. The trick here was that he reverses the candidates' positions (he states Obama as having the platform of McCain, and vice versa) – and he gets people to admit they want the positions of McCain but they're voting for Obama, or, quite frankly, they don't know what they want. And you know, he points out the fact that many of us basically jump on the bandwagon, and go with whatever most people are saying.
