There are some days I wish we allowed YouTube embed tags in DominoPower, because this would surely qualify.

But first, some disclaimers.

No, we didn’t do that. We don’t have nearly the "moves" to do it. Second, while it’s safe for work, it’s probably not safe for your in-office coolness rating.

The hunt for the hacker who broke into Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account is shaping up to be a remarkably simple investigation, by the standards of major cybersecurity whodunits.
