FBI SERVES WARRANT ON DEMENTED OBAMA SUPPORTER WHO HACKED PALIN'S EMAIL

The net closes. I think this kid has been leaving anonymous comments here lately.

The FBI is stepping up its investigation into the possibility that a University of Tennessee student hacked into the personal e-mail of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

A person who identified himself as a witness tells 10 News that agents with the FBI served a federal search warrant at the Fort Sanders residence of David Kernell early Sunday morning. Kernell lives in the Commons apartment complex at 1115 Highland Ave.

David Kernell is the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis.

A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed there has been "investigatory activity" in Knoxville regarding the Palin case, but she said there are no publicly available search warrants, and no charges have been filed.

A separate law enforcement source confirmed to 10 News that a search warrant was served on Kernell's apartment.

According to the witness, several agents arrived at The Commons of Knoxville around midnight.

They presented their badges upon entering Kernell's apartment, where several students were having a party, and took down their names.

He says Kernell's three roommates were also subpoenaed, and must testify this week in Chattanooga.

CUIL: THE NEW SEARCH ENGINE SAID TO BE A RIVAL FOR GOOGLE SUCKS

Monday marked the launch of www.cuil.com (pronounced "cool") formed by former Google employees and a recipient of $33 million in venture capital investment. I tested this search engine and frankly, it sucks. Bad. Enter any search term you want and experience the suckiness for yourself.

OBAMA THROWS HIS COUNTRYWIDE CONNECTION UNDER THE BUS

Yet another person who turned out not to be the person Obama once knew is chucked under what has become, a very large bus:

Obama and his campaign staunchly defended Jim Johnson against the charge that his ties to troubled mortgage lender Countrywide disqualified him from sitting on Obama's vice presidential search committee, but Johnson just pulled the plug: He resigned as chairman of the steering committee just now.

“Jim did not want to distract in any way from the very important task of gathering information about my vice presidential nominee, so he has made a decision to step aside that I accept. We have a very good selection process underway, and I am confident that it will produce a number of highly qualified candidates for me to choose from in the weeks ahead. I remain grateful to Jim for his service and his efforts in this process,” Obama said in a statement.

Johnson also put out a statement.

"I believe Barack Obama's candidacy for president of the United States is the most exciting and important of my lifetime," he said, according to a Bloomberg report. "I would not dream of being a party to distracting attention from that historic effort."

Can you imagine what Obama's cabinet is going to look like?
