White House Wins Ruling On E-mail Records
An anonymous reader writes "The White House Office of Administration is not required to turn over records about a trove of possibly missing e-mails, a federal judge ruled Monday.

Engineering is the art of compromise.
As any comedian will tell you, the letter K is a funny letter. The sound, itself somehow adds to the comedic value of any words in a joke. Since this judge has not one, but THREE K sounds in her name, I have no choice but to insist this is a joke. There's no other explanation.
I think $120/barrel oil is now actually the 'good old days'..
