National Archives branch Atlanta, GA

For genealogical or historical research of the Southeastern US, did you know that there’s now a National Archives branch located near Atlanta, Georgia?

Then you’re up on me, because I didn’t. Which makes me wonder what else in this wide world I’ve yet to learn…

Anyway, I discovered the link when I was reviewing a post I blurbed recently on the May 21st testimony of Adrienne Thomas, acting director of the National Archives in DC…haven’t heard more about the massive security breach there which concerns records on a purloined (or ‘missing’) hard drive – including personal info – from the Clinton years.

Was Sandy Burger otherwise engaged?

Now if you follow the link you will also find that the post contains the video of Adam Lambert singing Tears for Fears’ ‘Mad World’ on American Idol so read below the screen for the National Archives mention.

It really is a Mad World, isn’t it?

Adam Lambert sings Mad World: video link + National Archives security breach

Has your noggin ever run on two quite different levels at once? Of course it has for you’re a multi-leveled entity with lots of brain power.

Well, somehow I’ve smooshed Adam Lambert’s rather unexpected non-win of the American Idol crown Wednesday night with the story of the massive and possibly treasonous security breach at the National Archives.

One Possible Reason for the hard drive’s disappearance: if it was a theft (and how could it not be? it’s an unimaginably large amount of personal info, mostly from the Clinton administration days – Bill may have had it done!) – maybe someone is trying to undermine the Obama administration since this massive breach, the extent of which we may never know in this lifetime, has occurred ‘on his watch.’

Perhaps the hard drive will ‘turn up’ from behind the copier, all dusty and stale, but still mighty cute. Useful, too.

Well, DC apparently hides culprits under every rock, creek, and park so you may wish to check it out!
