If you can't beat 'em...

I've resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama will never win here in Tennessee. Nashville is a blue grain in a red sandpit, and no matter how many Barack bumper stickers I see here in Music City, the statewide race is a sure bet for McCain.

So I was glad to learn today that a Tennessean is at the center of an investigation into the hacking of Sarah Palin's Yahoo email account. That's the spirit. It's like losing a game of chess, and then bitch-slapping your opponent in the face. If you can't beat 'em, read their spam, I always say.
