I'm not sure how long this site will be up, but these are scary halloween costumes for Democrats.
Netcraft had this article regarding the Bush campaign's decision to block non-US traffic to georgewbush.com. Apparently, Akamai is serving up the content of the site and is denying based on some clever routing rules. Or is it just an extension of the current administration's foreign policy? Judge for yourself.

Democrats.org Fastest Growing Site
Monday, October 25, 2004
By Roger Park, Associate Editor
Nielsen//NetRatings announced that Democrats.org was the fastest growing Web site at home with a 91 percent increase during the week ending October 17. Democrats.org was also the second fastest growing site at work, jumping 80 percent for the same time period.
Nielsen//NetRatings reported at home traffic to Democrats.org soared to 574,000 unique visitors; and at work traffic to Democrats.org increased to 1.1 million unique visitors, up from 568,000 the prior week, as 41 percent of the Web site viewers also visited the same Web page.
"The consistent surges in key political sites' traffic demonstrates that candidates continue to leverage the Internet to effectively communicate their strategies and defend themselves against issues influencing the presidential election. The site increases also show how the Internet offers a powerful way for voters to proactively get involved in the election," says Corey Jeffery, senior analyst, Nielsen//NetRatings.
It seems every day, there are articles popping up around the web that really mean bad things for the Bush Campaign. Here are a few:

On the lighter side:
So today, I stumbled across a website: http://www.projectcensored.org. It's got links to a ton of media articles about subjects that mainstream media doesn't cover.
Many of the issues are real, close to home, hard hitting, and really quite critical of the Bush Administration.
If you are incensed, go vote for John Kerry on November 2, 2004. Find your polling place here and contribute whatever you can to help out the Democratic Party.

This is too funny. Hint: Don't steal Democrats' campaign signs lest you too fall on your face and knock yourself the fuq out.
This is my 101st blog post to 7610. w00t! yay. Not much excitement here. I just got my Thinkpad 41p to be a dual boot with WinXP and Fedora Core 2. Now I'm trying to get the Atheros Chipset working with Madwifi. Kudos to you guys. Now if I could just get it to work...
