Republican tries hiring hacker to improve his GPA

No, really.

Slashdot wrote about it and Network World has coverage too.

The full email thread, wherein one Todd Shriber contacted attrition.org and asked for their "services" is posted on the Attrition website. It's currently down due to a Slashdotting, but the correspondence is worth a read when the site comes back up.

The cool thing about free speech

For those who haven't followed the plight of Susette Kelo, her cottage in New London, CT was seized in a case of "eminent domain for private gain". Originally, the city added insult to injury by offering her far less than it was worth. After a long legal battle, she finally did get a decent amount of money, but was still forced out. All so that some greedy developer could build there. (Background on Kelo vs. City of New London)

For Christmas, Susette sent Christmas cards to city officials and the development group that read:

Your houses, your homes, your family, your friends.
May they live in misery that never ends.
I curse you all. May you rot in hell.
To each of you I send this spell.

It'll beinteresting to see if the city officials take it like a bunch of men (or women), or try to have Susette arrested over it.
