Haven't been able to access "Talkingpointsmemo" since yesterday...

Where IS it?

After I got home from work yesterday afternoon, TPM was going to be my second stop (after DU, of course) -- I was anxious to read Josh Marshall's take on Condi's appearance before the 9/11 Commission.

But the site was GONE -- "talkingpointsmemo could not be found"! And this morning it's STILL gone!

Does anyone know what's going on? I saw a post here that Josh Marshall was on Air America this morning, but I apparently missed it (caught the tail end of Molly Ivins). Was he really on? Did he say anything about his blog?

This is really bugging me... :-(

From a Friday Washington Post story on the degenerating situation in Iraq ...

This is Bush's 33rd visit to his ranch since becoming president. He has spent all or part of 233 days on his Texas ranch since taking office, according to a tally by CBS News. Adding his 78 visits to Camp David and his five visits to Kennebunkport, Maine, Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency.
and this ...

Bush spent the morning watching national security adviser Condoleezza Rice's televised testimony to the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, then toured his ranch with Wayne LaPierre Jr., chief executive of the National Rifle Association, and other leaders of hunting groups and gave an interview to Ladies' Home Journal. He is not scheduled to appear in public until Sunday, when he will visit nearby Fort Hood, the home base for seven soldiers recently killed in Baghdad.
Vacation gibes are usually unfair. But with the situation in Iraq so critical, shouldn't the president be at the White House? It's a full-time job, comes with a decent salary.

13. Doesn't seem to have anything in it

Just the default file...but I still can't get to Josh's website (though I can using the IP address). Hmmm...

11. Okay, I'm in -- thanks!

I have no idea what the deal is, but I copied "69.20.5.88" into my browser window and got to TPM right away! Still totally clueless, but at least I got there.

Thanks again,

5. Weird! Thanks all -- I STILL can't get in.

Will reboot and all, thanks. But it's just weird -- I only just turned on my computer and it was the first site I tried.

Glad to know it's not really gone, I just wish I could see it! Never had this happen before... :shrug:

Thanks again, everyone,

7. Try reloading the page

That worked for me when Kos and MWO made changes.
And don't worry, TPM and his archives are still there.
