		<description>&lt;p&gt;The major newspapers have buried this story:  they simply haven&#039;t covered it.  Now &lt;em&gt;The Onion&lt;/em&gt; is making a joke out of it.  The strategy is to keep it a local news story about a troubled twentysomething, and to the extent it&#039;s national, make it a subject of ridicule.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The only mention of it in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/22/AR2008092200515.html&quot;&gt;Washington Post is buried in their online edition&lt;/a&gt; in a tech blog, and suggests that Yahoo! should be prosecuted, not Kernell.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;It&#039;s clear that the &quot;hack&quot; was simply created by reseting Palin&#039;s password using her birthdate, ZIP code and information about where she met her spouse - all information freely available online. So who should be in court here? A college kid, or Yahoo&#039;s email security people?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The media have decided that this story is going &lt;em&gt;nowhere&lt;/em&gt;.  I doubt any national newspaper has a single reporter covering it.  &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m trying to reconcile the Obama netroots hacking into personal e-mails with their uproar over FISA.  They obviously don&#039;t care about privacy.  Surveillance/intrusion is fine, unless it&#039;s purpose is to defend America from terrorist attacks -- then it&#039;s a bad thing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Obama&#039;s netroots don&#039;t care about civil liberties, they just want to use the Bill of Rights to open the backdoor for Al Queada.  That&#039;s the takeaway for me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m reminded that Stalin killed more people than Hitler.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;State Rep. Mike Kernell told the Tennessean that his son, David Kernell, is at the center of speculation about the identity of the hacker who gained access to Palin&#039;s account.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;(or Rep, now I can&#039;t remember)  Greta just said that the authorities have been in touch with the 20 yo son of a Tenn State Sen (or rep) with questions.  Apparently the kid is a student at a Knoxville university and should finish his courses via correspondence.  :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Ds sure do raise good quality kids.  First tire slashers, now hackers.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I had read other people having trouble with RedState postings, but it hadn&#039;t happened to me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many, many apologies.  Made quite an ass of myself, it appears.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moe, could you take some mercy on me and delete the extra posts?  I promise to actually listen to instuctions next time.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I hope this marks a consistent return.  There is so much &lt;em&gt;earnestness&lt;/em&gt; and not nearly enough clever wit around here these days, its been hard to find a place to post and not offend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even though you&#039;re not working for my causes, there is always joy to see the rhetorical rapier handled well and with such flourish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ye gods, I think I might be a fanboy.  Moe, somebody, ban me!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As an actual substantive point, surely it bothers such a fine conservative as yourself to resort to the mother of all overreaching federal code, RICO, does it not?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And in agreement, there is no place for email hacking.  End of story.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;this is the only response I was interested in reading about in relation to this matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s been some time since I&#039;ve been active but had to log on to express my thanks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don&#039;t be such a stranger, oh no wait, that&#039;s me. &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Excellent run down for us blue-collar RedStaters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any chance you might return on a more permanent basis? Your diaries and posts were what got me hooked here, and then you left.&lt;/p&gt;
