…was in full swing the night it happened?
It’s certainly fully plausible, given the people involved.
The IRS Backup Service
It turns out they conveniently canceled their contract with them, ten days after Lerner’s “computer crash,” and shortly before the other “computer crashes.”
“College” Is Not A Generic Product

One Or Two Spaces After A Period
I will confess to being a two-spacer, for exactly the reason described. I learned to type on a typewriter without proportional spacing. It’s a hard habit to break, particularly since I haven’t had much reason to try (HTML ignores the extra space when displaying).
SpaceX Launch Attempt
They had to scrub the Orbcomm delivery mission yesterday due to a pressurization issue in the second stage (unclear if it was a vehicle or GSE umbilical problem). They’re making another attempt today, and fueling, but they’re not webcasting. No explanation why, but the disappointment on Twitter is palpable.

“A disaster of his own making.”
It was kind of inevitable once he was elected.
