Two quick Palin-related things:

1. boston.com: Hackers break into Sarah Palin’s e-mail account

It wasn’t immediately clear how hackers broke into Palin’s Yahoo! account … A hacker also might have sent a forged e-mail to her account tricking her into revealing her own password.

I am having a love affair with the idea that Sarah Palin fell for a phishing scam, and now her personal emails are circulating the internet. “@Hello, S. Palin – you may have already won a prize!!!@”

2. This was the main story/image and sub-story on CNN.com just now:

I’m assuming no one asked, “Why are you and your staff refusing to comply with a legal court order?” Although, sadly, that might not have really stumped her, since “I’m above the law” seems to be a valid answer for her.

I know, we’ve fallen behind here again. The rigors of graduate life lend one to less free time than I had imagined. We’ll try to turn it around in the near future…bear with us here.

But now, this is just a short ad: as jz pointed out to me, Amazon.com apparently now does this thing where they offer daily specials on mp3 downloads of albums. Instead of $8-$10, it’s a couple of bucks. Maybe they aren’t just “now” doing this…they could have been doing this for two years, but I never knew about it. Since my perception is all that matters, I’ll go ahead and say that they just started doing it today, around ten minutes ago when I got jz’s email.

Anyway, today’s album is Elbow’s The Seldom Seen Kid. It just won a huge award over in England called the Mercury Prize. Which I guess is a big deal. Regardless of that, you have my seal of approval on it: this is a brilliant, brilliant album that everyone should have. So pop down the two bucks and enjoy it.

It’s up in the top left corner. I assume it’s going until midnight PST, so you have another 13.5 hours to get it done. So what are you waiting for? Go. GO!

No, seriously, go.
