Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Website was never down when you were a Republican. This is yet more proof that liberals like you can’t lead and will bring down the great United States of America

This site’s been going down more often than David Gregory at a McCain barbecue. What a way to start the week.

You’re here? You’re really here? Frack. You get me hooked on this website and then you go all WordPress on me. And just when the Dem Convention is starting.

Well, if your really desperate, there is always Google cache. Not the very latest, but the links work if BJ is your jumping off point.

John McCain must pick Katie Levinson as his VP!
mantis
Ok, this is ridiculous. Aren’t you sick of WordPress yet? Want some free assistance getting set up on a different CMS? Let teh mantis help.
p.s. Your email doesn’t work either.

Just sent a hammer thru the tubes. Fix it right up!

The Hillagers are out on Hardball. If the rest of them are half as crazy as the blonde woman with the alleged congressional investigation in hand, then I think it might be good to shine the bright lights on teh crazy.

So: was Friday’s Obama/Bayh bumpersticker story a GOP ratfucking scheme?

Yeah that Hardball segment was AMAZING. “You can tell insanity when you see it.”

What Delia said!
I’ve had so many (insignificant) things on my (muddled) mind all day and no access to “My Friends”. I’ll condense to 3:
Things I am wondering today:
1) If John Edwards’ “political career is over”, how come Bill Blow-Me-in-the-Big-House Clinton gets to speak at the convention, let alone claim SLAP IN THE FACE over perceived, delusional slights?
2) How informed, smart and articulate is Luke Russert? Everyone blathers about their kids, warranted or not, but until Tim died, I had no idea he was actually underselling his son. There’s a good legacy.
3) Who was that boring and banal man sitting in for Tom Brokaw on MTP last Sunday asking all those silly, silly questions?
Dreggas
Heh, Tweetie just pwned some dumbass going on about Obama “going to a muslim school” LOL.
Jorge
Ok – I’m sorry to use this word, but I’m sick and tired of how big of pU$$!&s liberals are. Our guy has led John McCain in the polls every day for almost 5 months. Have there been ups and downs? Yes. But John McCain has not led in the poll of polls since April 15.
Every answer to every question that is about the horse race and why Obama isn’t doing better should be, “Senator Obama has led John McCain in the polls every day since April 15. You should be asking the McCain campaign these questions.”
Seriously, the Republicans are running a friggin war hero with a Q rating through the roof and they can’t break 45% in the poll of polls. Friggin grow a pair, libs.

I moved here from CO and never has EST tv scheduling sucked so much.

I heard he broke off his McCain Mancrush and has decided to start dry humping someone else’s leg for a change.

Oh, was it down? I thought my pilot light was out.

Something’s gotta change. “Failblog” is taken.

Once again, and I know we keep saying this over and over, it’s not WordPress that sucks, it’s your host that sucks. We see a WordPress error because WordPress is working, but the connection to your MySql database isn’t. Do not blame WordPress for being the last man standing.
Equal Opportunity Cynic
As Cleek pointed out to me on our offloaded sidebar conversation, two of the busiest four blogs in the ‘sphere are running WordPress. So it’s pretty unlikely the problem is the scalability of WP per se, as opposed to say the DB configuration.
Equal Opportunity Cynic
Then again, teh mantis’s rates (above) are hard to pass up, so maybe you really should get another CMS installed — which will then fail equally as dramatically, because virtually no modern CMS is going to work if the underlying database isn’t accessible.
Maybe there’s some flat-file-based CMS you should consider…. :)
Michael D.
Exactly. There are a number of site with far more traffic than BJ who use WP without problems.

You could just post everything in Notepad.

Did you know John McCain was a POW?

No no no. My personal productivity is suddenly WAY up and I have some other shit to get done.
w vincentz
as Wasabi said above. Seems to me that with wordpress coming up so many times, it gave me time to think and drink, then drink and think, then drink a bit more.
Thanks for the day off.
Insightful comments ahead.

Gawdamn John. I got a blank page most of the day for your site. Yeah, I know, I probably shouldn’t comment at all since I am kind of a MT moonbat, but I do lurk often.
Thankfully, while I was watching the amazing Phoebe Snow perform this evening (she is funny, she sings like a bird and damn, how come we don’t get artists like her any more??) you fixed it. Or it fixed itself. Or something. I was dying to see what you had to say about the convention. Where I wish I was. Sigh.
