Welcome, one and all to the most intense nightly read on the entire ‘sphere… The BitsBlog Nightly Ramble
This is the Take Out Edition
[1]. Just a small one, tonight, due to a tight schedule.
- WHERE ARE THE BIRDS? Twitter stopped, today [2]. Apparently, hackers using a denial of service attack.. [3] a fairly common ploy. Looks like Facebook got hit too, [4] though I’m not hearing about outages. Just slowdowns.
- THE REBELION AGAINST OBAMACARE WILL NOT BE TELEVISED: With all of [5]the numbers of people [6] , and the pluaraityof polling data that says Obamacare simply doesn’t have voter support, [7] do you suppose the Dinosaur media can make mention of the anger [8]that’s out there at the Democrats? Nah. And yes, Neal, it IS about Obama [9]. Always HAS been. VDH has a great one today on this topic. [10]
- LINK OUR STUFF: Speaking of the Dinosaurs… looks like Reuters is starting to learn [11]. But frankly, I’ll belive it when I see them not responding to links and quotes with lawsuits.
- REMEMBER WHEN… Congress raised hell about automakers flying private Jets? Apparently all that’s forgotten now. [12] or maybe it wasn’t about waste and excess… maybe it was about intruding on their powers, in the congress. After all, it’s only the really important people who should fly, right?
- “CASH FREEZER” JEFFERSON GUILTY: on 11 of 16 counts [13]. He’ll be on the street in six weeks, you watch.
