Gadzooks! Zounds, even…
Just in time for my anniversary celebration, my site has been hit with a campaign of cyber-terrorism. The site is now back up and functioning, but the terrorists are all around us.

It’s been an amazing week for Joe Lieberman. His unexpected “pity bounce” from Al Gore’s defection was thrilling to students of political history [I was the glad recipient of a “pity bounce” back in my college days, but that is clearly another story]. Lieberman is the first candidate to make a major […]
