Can't get enough of politics? Bored reading your own e-mail? Have I got something for you--an online cornucopia of government-speak acronyms that won't quit, political maneuverings within that rat's nest of lawyers we lovingly call "the federal government." Sorry if I offended your lovely pet rat.

Back and forth on the federal prosecutors before they were fired last year. The background, the carping, the buildup. It's the latest batch of e-mails from the Department of Justice. Can you think of any bureaucracy less aptly named? OK, besides FEMA, I mean.

If you're tempted to plow through this stuff, here's a fact you should consider: 3,000 pages. All on the House Judiciary Committe Web site. It's not enough to fill your flash drive, but it's a lot of e-mails. I feel sorry for the poor server that has to store all this stuff.
