1. I believed SC is based out of NY

So I imagine it is most likely related directly or indirectly to the NYC power problems.

2. He's still an idiot

Hopeless case.

His main forte is his ability to stand in front of wall to wall American flags (looks like an American version of Nazi Germany) raise millions of dollars for his re-selection campaign while other idiots applaud the loss of Democracy. Same ol, same ol.

edit: Oh sorry, I thought you meant the Smirking Chimp himself :eyes:

3. I think their server crashed
during the power outage on the East Coast. I live in San Francisco, and I know they're based in NYC, so I'm hoping it's that...

And not some Hoover/AsKKKroft attempt to shut 'em down:nuke:

6. Yah
He was down after 911 because his server was under the WTC.
So I guess his new server is somewhere in NY.

Crappy timing. I want his forum (along with the activist
forum here) to flog our Bush protest.

When SC comes back up he should feature Palast's great
"dim bulb" article explaing the reasons for the blackout.

7. Serious Withdrawal here...
I am going through some serious withdrawal and am about to... ohh noooo... hit the dark chocolate I have in my freezer. This calls for heavy duty sugar. I don't go to other forums... til now. I guess I need to diversify my portfolio.

I assumed last night that SC would be offline til further notice. Since its my homepage... its absence has been deeply felt. Here's hoping Smirky gets back online without too much hassles... otherwise its going to be a very loooong weekend. No one to flame? No one to complain to? No one to vilify? I might have to turn to soap operas... gasp, this means I might have to.... double gasp... watch TV?

Take heart Chimpsters... we'll be bahk.

9. LOL! Well, treat yourself to a little binge...what the hell...and welcome
to DU. I feel a little stupid for not recalling where the SC server was...half the time I don't even know what city I'm in. :D
