Two dozen House members are being investigated by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. This is actually pretty normal: some will be proven guilty, some found innocent, and some guilty as all freaking hell. The details were written up in a private report.

And that report got leaked to the press, revealing the names and allegations. Outraged, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) announced that the report had been—deep breath here—cyber-hacked!

Actually, it was simply and inadvertently posted by an ill-attentive member to a public file sharing website that opened it up to anyone who wanted to look at it. The Czar can prove it was accidental, as nearly all the names are Democratic representatives.

Interesting that procedures and sloppiness can lead to a breach of security like this.

If they really wanted to keep its contents a total secret, they should have put it into the healthcare bill.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
