6. Even the smart ones make stupid mistakes. The prisons are full
of very smart criminals who were SURE they'd never be caught because THEY were too careful and too smart! Then there's the inevitable Oops!!!

12. All of those emails used to be on a website, not sure if they're still up
this is a very old story though.

Some of those emails were useful during the hearings where those white house staffers were being grilled - forgot their names, but you know who I mean, all those young sick sycophants

I promise I will riot if they try to cage me! But then, I'm not in Bagdad, and so far not in a homeless shelter, but damn they are working on that! How many of us are homeless after the mortgage theft?
