At the risk of being labelled a terrorist organisation, some open sources organised a Watergate style break in of the offices of Michael Grimm [no really], a Republican who represents a district in New York covering Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn. Three windows were broken at the offices, which were not fitted with a security alarm, on Saturday night but nothing was taken.

The burglars just installed Linux on the hard-drive of the server running his campaign. Grimm moaned that the terrorists had wiped the hard-drive because the party which thinks it is a pretty neat idea to open windows on planes thinks that you have wiped the hard-drive if you install Linux on a server.
