Hooboy-- the Internet is Jumpin' Today

Instapundit seems down, and I'm having getting through to a Slate article I want to link.

Mu.Nu seems to be okay, though. I was hoping for huge traffic on this Blog Christmas, but maybe huge traffic would just shut the whole server down.

Anybody else having this problem, or is it just a problem with my local routers (whatever they are)?

Update: Okay, now the amateur leftist webzine Slate is pretty much down.

Instapundit, Powerline, LGF-- so many of the heavy hitters are out of the game right now.

Excellent.

With the first round of exit polls everything started going in the tank. Command Post, NRO (just ads though), Instapundit etc. The talking heads on TV must have mentioned blogs or something...

You seem to be carrying it today Ace! :) I can't seem to get thru to my other regular stops...you're it dude! You've got me freakin' out about VA thought...I thought I was gonna be solidly in the Red Zone! :( News from my local vote drop-off site...Reston, VA (Burb of DC): Relatively tame here...the Reps and Dems appeared to be on their best behavior. Had to wait in line for about an hour and a half. I knew that most from my area were going to be Kerry supporters (based upon tax contributions looked up on the net for my zip code) but I decided to wear my Bush/Cheney shirt just the same. Nobody spit on me...and some even made polite conversation! I literally was the only person there (that I saw) with Bush/Cheney paraphenalia...saw a bunch of Kerry/Edwards buttons.

Ace--

Blogger is sluggish. Fine for posting, but you have to hit refresh a lot on the pages.

Of course, I got a nice link from Jonah Goldberg in the Corner, so I'm also dealing with an avalanche today.

Just keep at it. Like a Viking.

Cheers,
Dave

They all use the same server is what I think. I noticed this too.

I seem to be down, or really hit or miss. That's a first since I moved to Hosting Matters.

You, and Roger Simon, and Hugh Hewitt are the only blogs I can get onto. So blog furiously. I'm trying to work, and it's not going too well.

BTW...that no-name post above is moi. Sorry...got ahead of myself.

Can't get into blogspot.

Jay Cost is up, which is the key place for non-stomach-churning news/analysis.

I've got a downstream trace-break once I hit Alter.Net's OC12. My wife says she loaded instapundit @ home just fine, and my RSS feed on MyYahoo is updating...but I can't get to any hostingmatters site from the office. Including command-post.org. ARGH!

Ace, keep us in the loop! You and other MuNuians are our only hope!

Can't even get to Hostingmatters.com. Think the lefty's are attacking?

Posted by: TakeFive on November 2, 2004 03:05 PM

Wonder if it has to do with this sort of thing:

"PA.: ALLEGHENY COUNTY GOP HQ IN PITTSBURGH WITHOUT POWER [Chris Lilik 11/02 03:01 PM]

According to several reputable sources, the Allegheny County GOP HQ in Pittsburgh just had lost power. Because the office building at 125 Seventh Street is without power, telephones, computers, and other office machines are unusable, a huge blow to Bush supporters hoping to remain competitive tonight in this key area of the country.

While it is still not clear the cause of this electrical problem, politics could potentially be a factor.

The Democrat Headquarters across the street and other surrounding buildings are said to be with power..."

I'm wondering how the BlogAds folks are gonna feel about the most significant traffic of the year being blacked out by faulty servers...even if they have been hacked. Hosting Matters didn't see this coming?

Posted by: Joan of Argghh! on November 2, 2004 03:14 PM

The net must be slow because of all the undecided voters getting online to get info on how to pull their heads out of their asses!

Posted by: Wild Bill on November 2, 2004 04:58 PM

This is part of why I wanted to get us all onto the new server last weekend.

The other part, of course, was those goddam monkeys.

The new server seems to be just cruisin' along. Not a care in the world. :)

Remember, folks, all of MuNu is up! Go here for a complete list of MuNu blogs.

Posted by: Pixy Misa on November 2, 2004 05:26 PM

Yes, I meant to thank you and congratulate you for that.

Better a little outage on Thursday than today.

TJM definitively ranks the films of John Frankenheimer

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.

For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.

More "fedslop" that Cavernous Nostrils is too smart to be taken in by:

Blake Neff
@BlakeSNeff

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."

Fenix Ammunition
@FenixAmmunition

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.

Lost 70s Mystery Click
And a song with another song as an intro, too:
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again
Boy do they look like absolute dorks.

And come what may

On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life
