Who ever heard of hacking a Tea Party?

Maybe it's an honor, maybe only paranoia, but I believe this journal was hacked twice: the first time when I posted the information about Mr. Sivasankaran, a resident of India who is an investor behind E85, Inc., the company that wants to build a factory in Newark for the production of ethanol.

The second time was when I posted new information on the same subject. The force at work, whether hacker or happenstance, wiped out my journal again, stopping short of the entry in which I quoted Mayor Bain as saying ethanol factories pollute no more than a single old car.

Titled: "We don’t have to worry about ethanol plant pollution," the entry quoted the mayor's statement to council on 1/2/07: “Keep in mind an ethanol plant today in one year’s time has pollution equal to that of a 1965 Chevrolet.” That's what the hacker left intact.

Maybe I should be flattered that anything I wrote could be so important to anyone else, if it was the work of a hacker. Wow. Maybe international intrigue right here in Newark.
