Shame On You!: Sarah Palin E-Mail Account Hacker

Today's Shame On You is for the guy who hacked into Sarah Palin's email account and probably costing her the vice presidency in 2008.

It was in the news...a University of Tennessee college student hacked into Sarah Palin's email account on his computer. He was put on trial in Knoxville this past week. The jury is still deliberating and maybe before this week ends the hacker will learn of his punishment.

I heard that he wanted to play a college prank. Personally, I don't find that funny one bit. If I ever found that someone tried to hack into my email account, that person will be punished severely and spend at least 60 years in prison. Sarah Palin was angry when she found out that someone hacked into her email account.

It is not nice to break into someone's email account--that's illegal and that could get you life in prison. I hope the judge gives Palin's Email Hacker 50 years in prison and forbids him from using the Internet again. That would be extreme but a lesson in respecting famous people's privacy.

You abused the Internet!!

Come on People--respect the Internet and don't abuse it!

Shame on You!!: Tiger Woods and Jesse James

This "Shame on You" is about two celebrities who cheat on their wives: Jesse James and Tiger Woods. Jesse James, who is married to Oscar winner Sandra Bullock, and Tiger Woods who was married to Elin were rumored to be sneaking around and flirting with other women. Mistresses left and right have come forward confessing that they had an affair with those men.

The mistresses have flooded the news shows to damage the careers and reputations of these two famous people.

Jesse James should cut out this mess and start being faithful to his wife Sandra Bullock--that would make her happy. Her fans should enjoy "Speed" and "The Blind Side". Jesse, this monkey business is tearing the nation apart. You should work things out with Sandra and maybe she will take you back and it will be a happy ending.

Tiger Woods, you disappointed your golf fans by having sex with other women other than your wife. The news of your escapade resulted in losing millions of dollars in endorsements with sponsors like AT & T and BUICK. Nike has stuck with you through this whole mess. We are happy to have back playing golf again at the Masters recently. Even though you didn't win--people started watching golf on television again. Hopefully, you get to play more golf in the future.

Let this mess be a lesson to both of you--Tiger and Jesse. Be faithful to your wives and respect your fans. We hope all the mistresses have gone away for good
