U.S. House Email Server Crashes

It's a Capitol catastrophe, folks. The Hill is reporting that the entire U.S. House, both members and staffers, don't have access to their email right now. Apparently a circuit breaker overloaded a House data center Thursday afternoon, making the whole system go kablooey. Engineers are working to resolve the problem, and they hope to have the House back up and emailing away at some point today. Guess it's a good thing this happened while Congress wasn't here.

Wow; this is serious! I hope all the crackberries will survive without their digital blow! Otherwise, we're going to have alot of addicts going into withdraw in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Oh no! Wow, it really is a good thing Congress wasn't here. Otherwise, this would have probably prevented them from keeping the country from sliding into economic ruin!

Oh. Wait...

OH NOOO - WHAT WILL THE SENATORS DO WITHOUT THEIR BRICKBREAKER?!

Who are they kidding? It's not like they're really doing anything today anyway....like us lobbying-types.

Uh, IAManugget, you realize the US House of Representatives have Representatives in it and not Senators, right?

No wonder all my craiglist hookups weren't responding this morning.

Oh NOES! Maybe now they can actually concentrate on something.
