Two Weddings and an E-mail

As some may have heard, Chelsea Clinton is getting married on Saturday in a multimillion-dollar wedding. People have said the event is excessive, especially in these tough times.

22 Million Bush Administration E-Mails Recovered

Computer technicians have recovered 22 million e-mails missing from the Bush administration, according to two government transparency groups that filed lawsuits against the Executive Office of the President, the Huffington Post reports.
