Arcangelo's Rant: "Hey Mikey -- those are my e-mails."

Submitted by Arcangelo on Sun, 03/30/2008 - 2:20am.

James says he's not ranting anymore, so I'll pick up the slack.

The News & Observer has been reporting about the Easley administration's e-mail policies for several weeks now. Some of the ineptitude in his handling of the situation has even spilled over here. I've withheld judgment until I've seen something more credible than the complaints of a woman who was just fired.

Unfortunately, I got what I needed to decide on the matter on Saturday:

Diana Kees, public information officer at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, recorded this note: “emails - more & more public records requests (blogs?) be careful w/emails; delete emails to and from gov office every day."

--The News & Observer, 3.29.08

Thanks to that little memo, I now have a message for Mr. Mike Easley: Any e-mail sent to and from the governor's office counts as a record that at least one member of the public – namely me – is interested in.

More after the jump.

Trying to get a straight answer out of McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.

BTW: I'm glad that Talking Points Memo posted this excerpt on Youtube, but since when does TiVo'ing something allow you to brand it with your logo? That's the Wild West...
