MaximumPC is not a political magazine.  As such, would you mind keeping the political crap in your personal blogs or on another website?

Also, you say that, "the hack has exposed Palin's inexpedient habit of conducting state business using a personal e-mail acount."  Oh dear god, not that!  Such a scandal!  If anything illegal or even "shady" had been found by the hackers it would be all over the news, but no such e-mails were found.  Why do you insist on trying to create a scandal where there is none?  Leave the political commentary and coverage to the morons with their own political sites and stations.  This is a tech magazine, and it should stay that way.  Let's keep the other crap out of this arena, capice?
