From the micro-informative television news watchers at the Tyndall Report comes this great political story (last story on this page.)

"DOUSE THE FLAMES In Dade County Fla municipal elections, a firefighter candidate stumbled across a rule that county workers cannot hold elective office. 'If he wins the election, he loses $200,000 in retirement benefits,' warned NBC’s Kerry Sanders. Too late to take his name off the ballot, what is a candidate to do? 'He is running the ultimate negative campaign. This candidate does not want to win. He hopes he will be able to say what few would ever want to say: I’m A Loser!'"
I'll bet he wins.

Everything is running very slow this morning. The internet traffic report is picking up a few problems (like the completely dead router at washdc1-br1.bbnplanet.net - 100% packet loss - perfect score!) At first I thought our hosts at he.net might be suffering a DoS attack, but now it looks more widespread. Be patient.
