So I know I can't be the only one who's had the unexpected pleasure of coming into possession of messages that aren't intended for my consumption. I'm not talking about you getting someone's private love letters or metaphorical cat video links, which I've gotten and deleted.

If I were back home, I'd be sliding this info to my nearest and dearest investigative journalist type. Since I'm not, well, I guess I've got to take matters in my own hands.

It's an interesting read, so, I'm just going to include the unedited details for all.


[what follows is a copy of the message that peter had received earlier, sent from lydia gill-jade, which seems the sort of thing that would come up in a current headlines search if it weren't presumably a secret. well, so much for that, huh?]

Maybe it's just me, but do people usually name successors for campaign donations?

Her grace isn't mistaken. It seems to be common knowledge amongst the major corporations as well as within government that Jovavich's place is secure for next year. Why back a losing horse? Or more specifically, why risk supporting someone who goes against the grain?

Gill-Jade seems to have been neutral to ineffective during her tenure. Jovavich seems to have more grit behind her, which makes one wonder how aggressively she'll push her backers' agendas. Lynch, on the other hand, is more focused on charity and outreach. He's been helping the impoverished for decades, judging by the records I'd seen. For a government supported by corporations and all involved benefitting by the classism in place, that makes him a bit of a wildcard, don't you think?
