4. I got so freaked when I couldn't get in a half hour ago
that I went over to Freeperville to see what they were saying about us.

It was somehow comforting to see them calling us traitors. Makes me sure that we're still on the right track.

8. Me too..
I was thinking.. "what am I gonna read online tonight?"

DU is my anchor. I have another window open where I'm on a completely different topic, be it video games/television shows/peak oil, and then I have the DU Window. Without the DU window, it just isn't the same..

9. How much does it suck that we all have to assume the worst?
It took me an hour to get back in.

I didn't *really* think anything went wrong, but after watching the ACLU's show tonight, it made me wonder.

15. There should be a beacon site
One that we can hit which is a static page that says:

- DU is up, you're crazy.
- DU is up, but under obscene load.
- DU is up, but is unreachable from X domain. They're blocking us.
- DU is down, maintenance, go clean your basement.
- DU is down, the Feds have already deported half of us.

21. I bought a badge for $3.00 and did a sneak-and-peak search.
And you should be ashamed of the condition of your fridge. :-)

I don't know if you saw the ACLU's show about the USA PATRIOT act this evening, but it had me wondering how strong my window locks are.

18. There is such a place, but I don't know where it is.
A few here know, and have posted it, but - stupid me - I didn't write it down.

Maybe if someone knows it here tonight, they could tell us......

16. There was a site today that had an intentional overload
cause they had pics from NO that our govt didn't want anyone to see. The person at that website said that he/she thought that it was FEMA that bombarded the website and crashed it.

This is an influential progressive website and I am always a little worried about "someone" taking it off the web forever.

Mostly also happens a lot when wingers are getting there due :-)

24. I freaked because my last interaction was being "alerted"
and I thought "oh, no, they've blocked even my browser from being able to get there."

Tee hee.
Ooops!
Told someone to fuck off: OOPS!

27. OMG! I'm LMAO right now. For the last half hour I thought I couldn't
get on to DU because I looked at some "forbidden" pictures of NO posted on another thread. And considering his site was out of service because of the pics, I wasn't sure what to believe.
