Some jokes just write themselves

When you're frustrated with too much sunshine....

Earlier this month, (Louisiana Technology Council President Mark)Lewis and one of his associates held a news conference at which they said that an unknown tech-savvy person intentionally removed the mayor's e-mail inbox from the server. Nagin lashed out at the non-profit afterward, arguing that assigning blame "is not their charge."

Nagin also suggested that the non-profit technology council his administration hired to find the data, not only was eager for "15 minutes of fame, " but also was in over its head. "I just hope that this is not a case where . . . we did not get the company with the expertise that we needed," the mayor said.

The city has hired a new firm, SunBlock Systems of McLean, Va., to continue searching for the missing e-mails, according to a city news release and SunBlock's founder.
Sunblock? Really?

Update: Looks like Clancy Dubos thinks it's funny too. Although I have to, once again, disagree with Clancy's Nagin-Nixon analogy. As I've said many times, Nagin's stoogey pseudo-businessman-turned-pol idiom likens him more to George W Bush than to Nixon.
