HUMOR and POLITICS: Uh, How Do You 'Lose' 1,000,000 Emails?

Here's Moby's take on how The White House lost 1,000,000 emails from his journal on his website. I found it through, of course, NetVibes. - OlderMusicGeek

i was just reading an article wherein it was revealed that the white house 'lost' 1,000,000 emails over a 2 1/2 year period.

uh, how do you 'lose' 1,000,000 emails?

can you imagine the uproar if gmail lost even 1/10th as many emails? they'd shut down in an instant.

but the white house loses 1,000,000 emails and it's business as usual?

just shrugged shoulders, a lop-sided gop grin, and 'oops'?

i have a theory as to where the emails went:
see, in a debate with john kerry, gw bush referred to 'the internets'. we thought he was just being an ignorant drunk, but maybe he was referring to multiple internets that exist in parallell dimensions? perhaps they've got these huge quantum computers that actually send email into OTHER DIMENSIONS?

so somewhere in a different dimension someone has been getting random emails from the white house? 1,000,000 random emails?

like, 'the vp's getting cranky and needs some cheering up, do we have any homeless people for him to shoot?' or, 'beelzebub called, needs to reschedule his 11 a.m with gw, how's 2pm instead?'

imagine the confusion on the part of the poor guy in the other dimension whose server keeps crashing with the 1,000,000 white house emails he's been receiving.

'zorgot! it happened again! and what's a "cheney"? where does this garbage come from?'

oh, 'zorgot' being the name of the spouse of the person whose server keeps crashing.

i mean, i guess that was pretty obvious, but i thought i'd spell it out nonetheless, what with 'zorgot' being a pretty common name in our closest parallel dimension, like 'john', or 'ahmed' here.

and i wonder, have/has the white house been receiving emails, too? emails from ANOTHER
DIMENSION??

and what do they say?

'VIOXXXX! ONLY $4.00! WOWW!!!! GOT NOW!! ALL GO!' but in an alien language?

i'm guessing that erectile dysfunction is a problem in other dimensions, too, even if the inhabitants of the other dimensions have multiple penises. see, multiple penises: multiple opportunities for the pharmaceutical companies in the other dimension, right? one man's flaccid is another mans $$$.
