A colleague informed me today that this blog is now blocked by the web filters at work. I checked for myself and, sure enough, I received a warning message stating that the site was blocked under the somewhat curious category of “Message Forums”. I’m guessing someone finally got fed up with my frequent critiques of the governor, my obsession with fishnets, or some combination of the two. While this move may slightly affect my hit counts (a few of my co-workers would check out the blog over lunch), I view as a kind of affirmation of my corrupting influence. I’m now an official malcontent whose efforts to speak truth to power are threatening enough to merit censorship. Today, it’s just the Minnesota state government, but soon it might be the whole of China. I’ll be the Salman Rushdie of the digital age.
I’d better start hiring my security team of Amazonian women whose uniforms will consist entirely of fishnets and Lycra. I’ve already done the sketches.
naw, I’ve been encountering that on and off for the last few days–just reload, and it works alright.
