Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

At the same time, technology is becoming obsolete so fast that electronic documents created today may not be legible on tomorrow's devices, the equivalent of trying to play an eight-track tape on an iPod.
Huh? I'm pretty sure I can still access electronic documents created 10 years ago without a problem, and ones created up to 10 years before that without a terrible hassle. I'm not sure what the author is basing her contentions on.
And her naive question/answer at the end of the article makes me think she really isn't too tech-savvy. Anyway, storing 100 million of Bush's emails doesn't sound like a crisis to me. Reading them might be.

Pa. Teacher Found Nude Faces Charges
December 29,2005 | HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A high school teacher faces charges of assaulting a police officer and possession of illegal drugs after being arrested earlier this month while standing naked in the snow, police said.
Curtis Lofton, 23, was arrested Dec. 10 after police found him nude outside his home. When asked where he lived and why he was naked, Lofton said that he was Jesus Christ and that the officer must be God, according to court papers.
A scuffle broke out between the two men during which Lofton is alleged to have hit the officer over the head with a plastic toy trumpet he found nearby.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That just makes me sad. I think schizophrenia hits men in their early 20s, unless it was drugs.

Oh, come on. Like we are really supposed to believe Jesus would materialize a tacky plastic trumpet?

I just assumed it was the drugs. They found pot and oxycodone in his posession.
