DOS attacks have been going on against conservative blogs. A while ago I could not get to instapundit, Powerline, LittleGreenFootballs, or Michele Malkin. At the same time, the Daily Kos and the Democratic Underground were working fine. This has been going on for a few days. Instapundit and Michele Malkin both had entries about attacks earlier this weekend. This is childish. If you think that your side's arguments are so weak that you have to silence the opposition then it is time for serious self-examination.

If you could get to it, Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit points out that George Soros has yet to be heard from about the tsunami. I checked some of his PACs like soros.org and Moveon.org and verified this. There is no word about trying to raise relief money, not even a link. The same is true for the DailyKos. This site functions as a fundraiser for Democratic candidates but all they have to say about a huge humanitarian disaster is critisism of Bush. No one seems to have thought to have included a link to charitable donations.

For the record, here is Google's collection of links. Here is Amazon's.

I guess that, to a liberal, all aid must come from the government or it does not count.

I believe that Soros has said before that he only makes donations that will give him a return. That means that he will donate millions to politics because it could give him a direct line to the White House. I doubt that he cares about influence in Sri Lanka.


Humor site Scrappleface has a good take on the election challenge.

Just minutes after failing to halt the certification of President Bush's electoral victory, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA, announced her resignation from the Senate today, saying she is "wracked with doubt" about the precise margin of her own victory in November.

While the official vote count showed that Mrs. Boxer trounced Republican Bill Jones by nearly 2.4 million votes, she said today that if even one voter was disenfranchised in California, then her "election is tainted and American troops in Iraq are dying in vain."

Even though this is a humor site, they have a good point - an elected official complaining about the election process.
