- MSBlast is spreading across the Internet, and security experts warn that it's infecting vulnerable systems running popular Windows operating systems. Security services firm LURHQ Corp. says it has discovered a worm in the wild, named MSBlast, that exploits the recently announced Windows RPC vulnerabilities. Security experts have been warning for nearly three weeks that someone may write a worm or a virus that would spread using the RPC vulnerability, which affects most all versions of Windows in use.

- In an election that threatens to rewrite politics and reduce the term in office of Gov. Gray Davis, the lesson of the day Monday was that the alphabet begins with the letter "R" - as in "recall." State election officials randomly drew letters to determine the order of candidates on the recall ballot that could be choked with nearly 200 names for the special Oct. 7 election. The first letter chosen was R, followed by W, Q and O. |

- Approximately 170 corporations, including some 60 Fortune 500 companies, are participating in an ambitious plan to mobilize employees in the presidential and congressional elections 15 months away. The effort, developing since the 1998 election cycle, is intended to counteract the powerful grassroots organization of labor and other liberal interests that often clash with business on policy. While the effort, dubbed the Prosperity Project, is nominally bipartisan, it is certain to favor Republican candidates, who are generally viewed as friendlier to business than Democrats. |

- Numerous Democratic strategists have become convinced in recent months that their party is unlikely to pick up the dozen seats it needs to retake the House, even in the face of a sluggish economy and mounting questions about Iraq that could be issues to use against the Republican-dominated administration. Analysts who have been following the early battle for control of the 435-member House say a relative lack of public anger to fuel anti-incumbent voting and a strong GOP fundraising effort underway will be difficult for Democrats to surmount. The biggest factor, however, is one that has thwarted Democratic hopes before and, if anything, is growing worse: Congressional redistricting has produced a remarkably small number of competitive districts nationwide. As a result, Democrats must win a huge percentage of the toss-up races to regain the House majority they lost a decade ago. |

- California Democratic Party Spokesman Bob Mulholland this weekend warned Arnold Schwarzenegger that "real bullets" will be coming his way during his campaign to be governor. "Schwarzenegger is going to find out, that unlike a Hollywood movie set, the bullets coming at him in this campaign are going to be real bullets and he is going to have to respond to them," warned Mulholland in an interview with a camera crew from ABC NEWS. "Maria [Shriver] has been very concerned about Arnold's safety, her family has a history with assassination, you know," a source with direct ties to the movie star told the DRUDGE REPORT from Los Angeles. "Mr. Mulholland and his talk of 'real bullets' with Arnold's name on them is reckless and not acceptable political discourse. |

- Nearly two-thirds of California voters are willing to recall Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, and nearly three-fourths of them say action hero turned Republican candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger should be taken seriously, according to a poll released late Sunday. The poll, conducted by CNN, USA Today, and Gallup found 64 percent of respondents would recall Davis, while 29 percent said they would keep him in office. If voters do agree to recall Davis, a candidate needs only a plurality of votes to win. Schwarzenegger leads the long list of hopefuls, with 42 percent of poll respondents saying there is a good chance they would vote for him. |

- It's too bad there's not an Academy Award for head fakes. As Arnold Schwarzenegger prepared to step onto the Tonight Show stage last week, Jay Leno asked him how he was going to make the expected announcement that he was not going to run for Governor of California. Schwarzenegger murmured, "I am bowing out." And that's what everyone was expecting to hear. In fact, top adviser George Gorton stood at the edge of the set, holding the official statement that began, "I am not running for Governor ... |

- With a motley cast of characters including Arnold Schwarzenegger, former child actor Gary Coleman, porn maven Larry Flynt and buxom artist Angelyne, the race to replace California Gov. Gray Davis is heating up to be the next media circus of the century. At least 155 candidates lined up to take the Golden State's top post, filing their bids by the 5 p.m. Saturday deadline. |

- Arnold Schwarzenegger's bid to recapture the California governorship for the Republicans could dramatically change the face of their party in a major electoral state that is one of the Democrats' biggest political strongholds. "If Schwarzenegger is able to win this and able to successfully govern California, he plants an inclusive Republican flag in a state that Democrats have taken for granted in the last several presidential election cycles," said an unidentified Republican Party official. "If you look at the presidential electoral map, the real anchors for the Democratic Party are New York and California, the official said. "You could potentially have Republican governors in both states, and that could put them in play and force the Democrats to spend campaign resources there in the presidential election that they may not be able to afford to do." |

- Re: weekend Beej, I, and a whole group of friends spent the weekend camping in Lava Beds National Monument. It's a yearly thing people in our group do, but I only occasionally come along. The reason for this is that it's far away (near Klamath Falls, OR), and hot (in the middle of the high desert), and filthy (the campground doesn't have showers). However, with my impending move, I came along this time to spend some time with friends. |
