Apparently, when HA moved servers Friday night, the old server was never shut down. Thus, as the new IP propagated through the various DNS servers over the next day, some of you continued to see the old site, while others (like me) were taken to the new site. Some of you may have seen comments, and at least one post, disappear. To which I say: oops.

Everything should be operating normally now. (Normal, by HA standards, anyway.) If not, let me know.

    Can Seattle find its voice?

    Gonzales is coming. The man is an instrument of Constitutional nullification by the combination of legal weaselisms and sheer obstinacy.

    Can we greet him in a way that sends a message? Can the left bring more to the occasion than face paint and papier mache?

    Where’s the principled right? The patriots raised on a diet of civics lessons — limited government and checks and balances? The ones who drummed these lessons into their children even when public school curricula no longer did? When will they react to the a program of precedents that will endure to leave them voiceless in future turns of the historical wheel, if not decisively discredited in our time?

    Where’s the goo-goo middle? Here’s a man who has run his executive department to ruin, exposed for the flop he is, and responds with a virtual “let’s see you try and stop me!”?

    Gonzales in Seattle. Will we break the thrall of civic futility’s hypnotic drumbeat?

    Will we make a statement?

    Where is the state bar association that licensed this creature? Disbar Gonzales. Problem solved.

    I believe the law states that the Attorney General must be licensed to practice law. So, if Gonzales is disbarred, he can no longer be Attorney General.

    That’s the way it works when you have respect for the law, anyway. I’m not sure even Mr. Laws-Don’t-Apply-To-Me could keep a disbarred attorney on as AG.

    I guess how in the world a knuckle-dragger like Gonzales got through Harvard Law is as much of a mystery as how his boss got through Harvard School of Business. Maybe he lectured his professors about how the Constitution only applies to the “right” people, the way Bush did one of his about how all poor people are lazy.
