>@GovKemp’s campaign swipes at @staceyabrams Star Trek fandom with this mailer hitting Georgia households this week: “Planet Stacey. Boldly going where California and New York have gone before.” #gapol – at Dunwoody, GA

Gut inclination on the SWIFT news...this increases the potential for cyber attacks against U.S. infrastructure, especially financial institutions.
