"Good morning! Were you all snuggled safe in your bed last night knowing that you always do the right thing by never carrying your Social Security card with you and shredding all your personally identifiable information and thinking that, short of another bank screw-up, your privacy was protected? Um, yeah, well, get ready for a restless night tonight. Obama&amp;#x27;s Passport Data Hacked Actually, it wasn&amp;#x27;t hacked so much as 3 government contractors who weren&amp;#x27;t supposed to peek at it decided to peek at it. Yes, somewhere in the wilds of our outsourced government, three contractors with no business looking at his passport data were able to do so because our government put in place exactly zero controls to prevent the unauthorized viewing of people&amp;#x27;s passport data but they do have in place controls to let them know if it&amp;#x27;s someone important whose data is being accessed so they can look into it eventually. They don&amp;#x27;t yet know if the peeking was politically motivated but it isn&amp;#x27;t the first time it&amp;#x27;s happened&amp;amp;#8212;the Republicans did it to Bill Clinton in 1992. Richardson Endorses Obama New Mexico Governor and former third-tier Presidential candidate Bill Richardson finally looked around this week and realized that he forgot to endorse anyone yet. After a short session of eenie-meenie-miney-moe, he chose Obama. This is obviously a totally key endorsement, coming more than a month after New Mexico&amp;#x27;s primaries and all, but Obama desperately needs some positive news this week, so he&amp;#x27;ll take what he can get. Wall Street Not Really Hedging Its Bets Even though both Hillary Clinton and Obama have been talking a little smack here and there about the financial services industry, given the housing crisis precipitated by Wall Street which is seemingly leading us into a recession, they&amp;#x27;re raking in campaign donations from the selfsame people they&amp;#x27;re promising to regulate more if elected. It stands to reason that the Wall Street folks are betting on getting some good will with the next President, but, of course, their most recent gambles have been so bad that the economy is going to hell in a handbasket, so I wouldn&amp;#x27;t exactly trust their judgment. Michigan Done Oh, and apparently I called good on Michigan too soon this week, as they adjourned for a two-week Easter recess without doing anything about holding a new primary. Good luck with getting your delegates seated guys! Does it worry you that random people can just look up your private information on a whim? Why are the Democrats the new candidates of money-hungry Wall Street power brokers? And do you think there&amp;#x27;s any chance of either Michigan&amp;#x27;s or Florida&amp;#x27;s delegates being seated in August? &amp;amp;#8212;Megan"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
