As a government-employed computer security guy who has never owned or
worn a suit OR tie, I feel entitled to ask... WTF?

Anyone else seeing issues with gmail?
Down, definitely down. Call the White House!
It should be clear that the root cause here is a lack of regulation,
so could someone phone Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) _urgently_ and
advise him that the only way to stop problems like this happening in
future is to ensure that the government has a firm grip of the
steering wheel at all these web2.0 companies. Also, rather than
letting these trendy, fashionable Googlers attempt to fix critical
systems like gmail, that real service problems like this ought to be
fixed by accredited cyber security professionals, preferably ones
which can demonstrate their computing ability by wearing a suit and tie.
If we've learned anything in the telecommunications world, it's that
if any organisation can respond quickly to a problem and deal with it
efficiently and effectively, it's a Government.
