The incoming House Majority Leader, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), is seeking assurances from presumptive Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-SF) that she would not retaliate against his supporters after he won the No. 2 House leadership post over her preferred candidate, Rep. Jack Murtha (D-Okinawa). At Power Line, John Hindraker sees this as evidence that “with Pelosi, everything is personal.” That might comport with the feminist slogan that the personal is political.

There are a lot of hysterical e-mails going around about a company called Zabasearch that supposedly has all your personal info in one place.  If you get one, ignore it.
