I think I hit the highlights here:

test 1-2-3.

Hmm. Are posts with links blocked?

Let's see.

test 1-2-3, no link.

(My summary of the day's highlights.)

Yep look like links are blocked. Disappointing implementation, but I imagine it was done in haste. Gotta change that gravatar.

So the avatar update works. That's good thing.

no links though. politicallagoon.blogspot.com has what i posted today.

Aha! Links fixed. People are watching. that's nice. I hope it's not too long a night.

ok this is some bullish. I was fiending all day long. So much McCain Palin Todd nuttery going on and no where to talk about it!!!

jayackroyd. Seems like you have been waiting for the blogs to come up all day like i have huh?

Mr Nice Guy and I were in touch. Nobody else really. After they put up the post announcing the outage, things made more sense.

we did set up that political lagoon site as a place for regulars here to go when content wasn't appearing here.

I guess we are witnessing the cutbacks that are going to have to happen at TIME so they can send KT to the Obama acceptance speech in Chicago. The site is still fuhkin up bad too.

You missed the interesting cross-scheduling of Sarah Palin's campaign stop in Asheville, NC on Sunday with the city's annual Zombie Walk.

Now that will be interesting.

Damn! They kept Scherer...

Thanks for the link you put up at Atrios' place, Jay. Went to read that when my old link didn't work. Is there something on the TIME page?

I am sure you guys have already seen this but heres another clip of racists outside a Palin rally. I swear you could just go to snopes and check off all of the debunked chain email smears that they spout on these videos.

Muslim check
Socialist check
Radical check
Birth certificate check
Terrorist check
Arab check

Gee, JNS lost her new picture.

It's going to take a while to get used to this format for comments.

by the way, how can i get rid of this purple christmasy avatar? Im not digging it at all.

I am not really liking this format so much. Kinda hard to differentiate posts

Hallelujah!

I didn't realize how much I'd miss you guys! I was afraid I'd have to, like, look stuff up myself.

And, one user name and pw does not give access to all the blogs - just tried Tuned In. Got the WordPress sign in, did it, nothing. Guess the Sheriffs are on the booze again.

OH, but we can see Obamish's name before we have to read his posts.

And maybe he can get a trollhead avatar.

Or if you're quick enough, you can register for him, and have it all ready.
