#3 OT-- looks like LGF, Nicedoggie, many other blogs were taken down around 11:20 PM PST. Maybe a problem at HM... maybe DNS attack.

#4 OT: Yep, hostmatters.com is down. There were some very good tirades and discussions going on at both LGF and the rottweiler--both sites debating the nature of Islam and the Local Loony Left.
Bummer. Too many freaking eggs in one basket.

#5 Quite a few warbloggers down - Tim Blair, A Small Victory, VodkaPundit, Daily Pundit, LGF, Instapundit, Eject!, Rachel, Amish Tech Support.
All probably wondering how you are staying up. :)

#6 Their DNS server is down. You could read the sites if you knew the IP address. (Like that helps...).
We aren't being given much info but I assume they'd let us know if it were an attack (then again, maybe not).

#7 Boy, did this get warped OT! Trouble with being first in line. Whatever happened, Instapundit back up as of sometime in last hour.

Now, exactly what were y'all envisioning when you read that headline?

#12 What's up with this shit? Didn't these guys learn anything from that little BSE problem in the U.K.? It's quite simple - putting animal parts in feed being given to animals that eat only plant matter is asking for trouble.

#13 What's up with this shit?
Some people who never held jobs and probably never will have decided they know "what's best for Australia", and want to stop sheep exports. They aren't concerned about the sheep farmer, the exporting company, or anyone else - THEY get their money, no matter what, so why should it matter that these "capitalist pigs" get burned. These are the cannon fodder of the war against capitalism. They need to be rounded up, ground into gooey paste, and used to fertilize a nuclear test site.

#14 Enough of these sheep--er, I mean, cheap thrills!
