For this kid to have technically ‘hacked’ her Yahoo email, wouldn’t that have required somehow gaining access to Yahoo’s main systems?

This wasn’t hacking, this was ‘guessing right’ with Yahoo’s verification system.

I actually feel sorry for this kid. He should have read Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother first.

You mean it wasn’t Karl Rove who hacked her email?

It’s so cute when dumbasses use words like “hacking” as if guessing someone’s email password, especially if they use something like their zip code or the name of their omnipresent dog, is sooper-complicated. Bad judgment on the kid’s part, no doubt (if you really wanted to throw some grit in the gears of the Palin juggernaut, better to steal her crayons).

FATHER OF HACKER Is Tennessee Dem State Rep!!!!!

Wasn’t Tennessee where the head of the state Democratic Party(or at least someone in the leadership group) made unkind(to put it mildly) remarks about Obama? Al Gore and Steve Cohen aside, TN Dems aren’t exactly the most enlightened of the bunch(see Harold Ford, Jr. & Jim Cooper for starters).

If only they could have gotten this excited about joining the army and fight real battles, rather then the ones in their laptops and heads.

Though granted, the real world doesnt have bitchen Battle Unicorns to ride into war with the Lord of The Rings soundtrack blaring in the background. No in the safe 101st world he and his ilk live in, they are warrior poet kings. Like a combination of Worf and Strider with a dash Churchill.

Then with battle won and the Intertubes safe from the Evil and Dark Lord Obama and his hordes of Dirty Fucking Hipppies Goblins, Ace would retire to his basement Batcave Fortress Of Justice- where Sarah would be waiting for him, shyly slipping off her glasses, undoing her hair, auburn tresses tumbling down- framing a face fill with desire and graditude. Coming towards him, parka slipping to the floor…

But alas, Breakfast Jacks do not make themselves, so it back to work for our hero, and more daydreams of adventure during the Stargate SG-1 marathon tonight.

Apparently the security question was “Where did you meet your spouse?” Governor Palin currently is telling every available audience this information, Wasilla High. The other information the kid needed was home zip and birth date. Bingo.

Ace has updated with information from the kid’s blog that he’s been institutionalized twice for depression. Do you think this has mitigated Ace’s wrath? Hades, no.

Oh, yes, and a little homophobia comes with the revelation of the kid being a dancer. It’s a great chance for a vicious hate-on at Ace’s place.

he’s been institutionalized twice for depression

So then he must know Josh Trevino and Godlstein….

I think we should build a giant spaceship and get all of these yahoos to board it, telling them whatever story they need to hear to get on board. Most of them, we can just tell them it’s the Rapturemobile. (We can tell Glenn Reynolds that it’ll take hime to the Planet of the Hot Robot Babes.)

This plot, of course, is stolen from Douglas Adams. If you’re gonna steal, steal from the best.

Bet he wishes he had chosen Cindy McCain’s Yahoo account at this point.

On the other hand, I have protected my Yahoo email account with an indeciherable rune, copied from the gravestone of King Mallach the (&^%$$^^%$##@@$%^&**()((()0&^%$##

He fucked up.

So it was just a clever kid. That’s hilarious. Something that easy shouldn’t even be illegal.

“No President Palin, we can’t use your birthdate for the nuke launch code.”

That’s Just What I Said

From TPM From the AP:
John McCain embraces and expels Washington like an accordion player belting out a song.
Squeeze in and he touts his vast knowledge of the capital city. Draw out and he casts himself a reformer bent on changing its ways.

With that in mind we have to figure out what parts of the invisible accordian Hoft is squeezing.

That’s Just What I Said

I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I visited 4chan for the first time, found the files, couldn’t figure out how to actually get into them, got bored, and wandered off to play games.

I am so sorry.

The Psycho is blaming Obama? And making threats?

Cool..do we get to blame McCain?

let’s see … kernell … kerning … I’m surprised the kids from PowerLine haven’t sued Ace for infringing on their brand …

I’d hit it

So.

They respond to the HORRIBLE HORRIBLE crime of violating someone’s privacy and revealing their personal information… by revealing someone’s personal information.

Pot, meet kettle.

A threat from someone who is unknown outside a circle of a few hundred nitwits, and is powerless outside his mommies basement is formidable indeed.
