(Overheard in the Computer Science Undergraduate Association office)
Everyone on the net by now knows that mail to the President can be
sent to president@whitehouse.gov, and that mail to the Vice President
should be addressed to vice-president@whitehouse.gov. However, most people
don't realize that mail to Hillary Clinton should be adressed to
root@whitehouse.gov.

interesting pennant race...

JUPITER DOKE, BRIGADIER GENERAL
===============================
by Ambrose Bierce
[Continued.]
From the Secretary of War to Major General Blount Wardorg,
Commanding the Military Department of Eastern Kentucky.
WASHINGTON, November 14, 1861.
I have assigned to your department Brigadier General Jupiter Doke, who
will soon proceed to Distilleryville, on the Little Buttermilk River,
and take command of the Illinois Brigade at that point, reporting to
you by letter for orders. Is the route from Covington by way of
Bluegrass, Opossum Corners and Horsecave still infested with
bushwackers, as reported in your last dispatch? I have a plan for
cleaning them out.
[To be continued.]

So grave those first born cries
When life beings with needles and pins
It ends with swords and knives
