FBI Investigating Mystery Laptops Sent To US Governors

itwbennett writes "The FBI is trying to find out who is sending laptops to state governors across the US, including the governors of Wyoming and West Virginia. The West Virginia laptops were delivered to the governor's office on August 5, according to the Charleston Gazette, which first reported the story. Kyle Schafer, West Virginia's chief technology officer, says he doesn't know what's on the laptops, but he handed them over to the authorities. 'Our expectation is that this is not a gesture of good will,' he said. 'People don't just send you five laptops for no good reason.'"

    I for one am tired of hearing about the deranged, overprivileged Kennedy clan. They're so out of touch that they think they can just walk into a NY Senate seat based on name-recognition alone. Well, I guess it did work for that carpetbagger Hillary, so maybe Caroline was on to something...

    When I'm tired of people talking about something I usually bring it up.

    You know, I always thought that New Yorkers were off their rocker
    for voting in a carpetbagger like Hillary. Then came that last
    presidential election with the kook from the North that couldn't
    keep wolves and deer straight. Then it suddenly became clear to me
    how a carpetbagger might have ended up with a NY senate seat.

    Sometimes the carpetbagger actually manages to be a better option.
