The Bush reelection website is apparently now blocked to everyone outside of the US. It seems to be a policy decision rather than a response to hacking. Here's an interesting quote from the BBC article: Mike Prettejohn, president of Netcraft, speculated that the blocking decision might have

The staff person rudely said they were not open yet. There's also the consideration that this response was that of the staff person and not necessarily representative of the establishment. When a new business opens there is often a period when they go through lots of staff until they find the

It also flies in the face of the fact that Clinton never had a Democrat controlled Congress. My recollection is that Clinton did for 2 years. I remember being stumped that the Dems still couldn't seem to get stuff done. Yet, however ineffective, the Dems are still a whole lot better than the

Since this is pretty important I wanted to summarize and clarify for those that didn't read John's links. Below Craig included a excerpt from our government defining Weapons of Mass Destruction. This definition seems pretty reasonable. Unfortunately overzealous prosecuters are twisting the

Having been to one of Moore's recent lectures where he gave away underwear and tortilla chips, I'd like to point out that he was very clear in expressing that he didn't care who you voted for, he just wanted you to get involved and vote. While I realize this might still be considered 'wrong'

If so, UC sure as hell has not been gentrified in terms of crime. I think of this in terms of not being suburbanified rather than gentrified. I wonder how this compares to Center City. I'm guessing if you look at a similar map of the Rittenhouse area you might actually see more crimes there.
