Apparently so many House staffers are watching the MJ memorial on
their computers that...

The Committee on House Administration's House Technology Director sent
out the following email message to House staffers:

"Just as an fyi the internet is slow as a result of the MJ Memorial
Service. A notice will soon be posted on Housenet."

Another staffer tells Shenan that everyone in Cannon is watching the
memorial. "All the offices have closed their doors" and "literally the
halls are empty." Plus, there was a sighting of a teary-eyed intern.
"Thank God we have late votes today," added the staffer, "I would
body-check anyone who tried to change the channel to CSPAN right now."

Kind of over the top, eh?

Well, in the midst of all the coverage I missed, I did catch a clip of
Stevie Wonder singing, and he did one hell of a job. What a great talent.
