Hooray!
We missed you Charles!

I like you Charles.

Charles performs a critical function in a democratic society. Leftists wish to silence those with whom they disagree. That makes them fascists and the enemy in the most literal sense.

I almost had a nervous breakdown the last 2 days!
Glad to see ya back!

Welcome back. I didn't initially believe that the Jan. 8th attacks were directed at LGF, but now I'm beginning to believe otherwise.

"People only throw stones at the trees that bear fruit."

Who did this?

I am so glad that you are back. Visiting Discardedlies was ok, but this is home.

Lord, without LGF yesterday I was so bored I was forced to paint my living room. It looks good, and we're glad you're back, Charles.

It was Mahmood Abbas!

Welcome back Charles. :) You even have friends out here who didn't email.

And the site is running great. I guess you don't have to eat Morlocks for them to make you stronger.

Fortunately, lizards have regenerative qualities.

Nice work on Hugh Hewitt last night. It would have been easy (for you) to join the dogpile.

I missed you tremendously. I was concerned my incessant checking of whether you are online would also cause a DOS attack. I was going through serious withdrawals. Please do not do that again. Odd though you would be down on an important day of the CBS report, in which you played a role. Hmmm I wonder what Dan Rather was up to yesterday.

You can judge the character of a man by his enemies.

Isn't interesting that the moonbats tried to silence you on the
day that the seeBS report came out?
Hugh Hewitt was talking about how the blogs were too quiet
about the findings of the report. Now that the lizardoids are
back up, I'm sure that will change!

well to hear the moonbats tell it FreeSpeech is a dangerous tool that allows the weakminded(you know their core constituency) to be turned into robots...

they are "doing the right thing" in trying to codify their warped morals into the only acceptable thoughts/words...

a "public service" you know

Charles,
Glad to hear you've secured your perimeter, digitally speaking.
I hope you and your ISP and the appropriate authorities are able to trace the moonbats who did this back to their cave and drop a legal JDAM on them...

this was a DOS attack? yougottabefuckingkiddingme!

Charles, I was blissfully unaware that you had gone anywhere. This is a result of working the night shift and stumbling blurry-eyed through the day. I missed all the excitement.

Welcome back, Charles. I'll repost this thought:
yesterday, it was raining like hell in LA. Couldn't jog. No movies worth seeing (real suckie year). LGF down! Sheesh. The perfect storm.

LGF (the island of sanity) is back. What a relief for us all. No doubt others out there would not agree, so sad. We are not sooo sooo sorry that we are back up. Thank you Charles, let's go!

I'm sure that you and Hosting Matters haven't gotten much sleep. Where did this attack come from? The LGF villagers are gathering up torches, tar and feathers.

"Oh frabjous day! Callou, callay!" We chortled in our joy.

Nifty new preview window, Charles!

And who might these people be who shout "free speech, free speech," unless it happens to be speech with which they disagree?

Keep up the good work, Charles...

I thought the prior attack was directed at conservative blogs. This last one just adds to my suspicions...

Glad you are back up and running!

#12 Davic

Yeah... that's right...

Dan did take the day off the same time the attack was occuring...

If anybody wants, I can "find" a memo showing what Dan was up to yesterday.

Also:

Charles, I know you are a generally humble guy, so I will just say "Keep up the good work" You have many fans who feel like they are friends.

I don't just love you Charles, I found out yesterday that I need you! I love the rest of you, too!. Feeling better in Virginia and a good day to all.

We love you Charles...oh yes we do...

We don't love anyone...as much as you.

When you're not near us...We're blue...

Oh Charles we Love you...

YES WE DO!

(Not in a gay way or anything...not that there is anything wrong with that...)

...but your emails show that I also have friends, for which I’m enormously grateful.

And we are enormously, eternally grateful for LGF!

My Little Green Footbalss turned blue yesterday. :-(

I hope that you are successful in finding the kook(s) that are resposible for trying to INFRINGE ON YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH and prosecute them.

test

Hey Charles,

I asked this on a prior topic, but I'll ask again. Has Hosting Matters contacted the FBI about the attack? I would think this qualifies as a cybercrime.

Glad you are back. What happened?

Easy-on-the-eyes Michelle Malkin asks "WHERE'S LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS?"

Johnson deserves whatever support, linkage, traffic, tip jar donations you can share when his site is back up. And thanks, Charles, for doing what you do and not backing down.

... then speculates on CBS WATCH: THE GOOGLE NEWS BLACKOUT?

I adore you, Charles. You are a true Neo-Renaissance man. Ewww. Did I just use a Fwench word? Sorry. You know what I mean.
;)

I'm off to hit the tip jar. You never know what you miss until its gone.

Heh. Forgot my password. Had to guess.

The timing of the thing is unavoidably interesting. Repot comes out, LGF goes down. Hm.

Glad you're back.

Any idea on who might be responsible? DOS attacks are criminal.

Actually the attack was probably orchestrated by the Mossad to throw blame upon the opressed Palestinians. Hasn't the late Arafat claimed that many terror attacks against Jews really was the Mossad's work?

What other blogs were down yesterday?

You know how many people love you, Charles.

Thank G-d LGF is back! And it's running beautifully ...

An entire day without Charles and the Minions? I nearly lost my wits.

Fortunately, Instapundit had a note about what was going on, so I didn't have to suspect the worst. Otherwise I might have feared that the Shover Robot finally got to you...!

Thank G-d Zulubaby is back...

I can't survive without my one and only love...

:P

Great to have you back!

That was nice - a short reply eaten by a glitch in the system.

Welcome back. I've been wanting to catch up on some of the threads from Sunday like the one on new linky goodness. The occasional geekiness is just one of the things that makes LGF a little more endearing than the rest.

I had no clue as to how addictive lgf is!

Glad you're back!

Like others that have posted at discardedlies . . .the timing of this
DOS attack appears suspiciously vindictive.

I have no information about who's responsible for the attack, sorry.

Welcome back, I missed the truth while your site was down.

I have one word...

GOYUM!

hehehehehe j/k

Oy! A mechaya!

Yay, yay, yay.

And a big thanks to zorky and ev for hosting us all when we had the shivers and the shudders.

OT: Here's something nice: Dhimi Watch in Chicago-Bank to Make Special Muslim Home Loans

Coz they love diversity!

Andrew B., you didn't tell me that you loved me! LOL.

Welcome back Charles, you were missed. Your absence was a matter of some discussion on ther blogs.

It looks as if the moonbats have targeted consevative blogs.

I love conspiracy theory, and I think this one has legs. :)

Traditionally, "radioactive" stories are released on Friday, so the firestorm has a chance to die down over the weekend. There were DDOS attacks against LGF last week, which I believe were "probes", or perhaps just unsuccessful attacks. When the last attack finally took LGF offline for 20+ hours, the MSM felt free to release the story, since their greatest enemy was incapacitated.

I also think the attacks on other HM clients were in the nature of "spoiling attacks", designed to obfuscate the true target (Charles) and deny him alternative resources to air his analyses. It is fortunate that 'Lies was well enough designed to support the increased traffic. Most prolly the attackers had counted on alternative blogs crashing under the increased visitor load.

What I want to know is if Hosting Matters can trace the point of origin of the attacks?

Charles, it is truly impressive how detested you are by the MSM. This incident has made it crystal clear that they reguard you as the greatest of their blog-enemies. Their resources, such as they were, were entirely committed to LGF.

Should we start a Lizard Manicure Fund? I'm very concerned about Charles' fingernails.

Charles...in the report did they include LGF as the reason for the truth surfacing...or did they just round up all the BLOGS into one word...BLOGS.

There was a definitive spike in my billable hours yesterday. I wonder if my employer will make a connection...

I was concerned as well. On the day of the CBS report one of the prime new media sites responsible, LGF, goes offline.

Perhaps the UNocrats are still trying to gain control of the internet?

Zulubaby...

And I quote from the Cure..."I will always love you."

I love you Charles, in a close and personal way.

Mmm.

"No matter how far away...I will always love you."

If we guess the attack's point of origin, will you tell us if we are close?

Quebec? CBS building? DNC headquarters?

What? Charles, you think someone doesn't like you? Hah!

What an understatement!

Anyway, now LGF is finally back up, we Lizardoids can properly celebrate the major defeat of the MSM at CBS News.

Yahooo!

CBS, I hope you go under. And NYTimes, I hope you go under too! The blog world is going to steam roll you guys. Did you really think that you could tell outright lies and get away with it? Did you really think that you could rely on fraudulent documents in a blatant attempt to influence an election and get away with it?

The one thing that internet is going to do is change how people access information, that is for sure. In my area, I have noticed that television networks now spend big money to advertise their shows on other media, such as subway ads, radio ads and newspaper ads. The MSM is not saying anything publicly yet but I think people have stopped watching as much TV as they used to. The media world has completely fragmented now.

armytramp...you're scaring the poor guy...lol

It's great to have the Grand Exalted Lizard back on the net.

For some reason I have the final scene of "It's A Wonderful Life" in my head, where all of George Bailey's friends gather around to support him.

And so I raise my glass...to Charles, Lizard Master, the richest man in town ;)

Mentat...

Anyway, now LGF is finally back up, we Lizardoids can properly celebrate the major defeat of the MSM at CBS News.

Now is not the time to gloat...

Wait ten seconds...

NOW IS THE TIME TO GLOAT!

lol

Was afraid maybe the left wing libbys had taken a contract out on your life. Glad to see you back up!

The Sandy Berger Socksgate story is still alive.

Oy! All this yiddish is so intoxicating. To the perps who attacked our beloved LGF, and who I'm sure must be reading this, Gay Kish Kleyn Faigle Tuchas, dumbasses!

Life without LGF is imposssible !

Hi Everybody !

This is an example of the moonbats just trying to spread the misery. They suffer from a different form of DOS (an auto-immune neurological disorder: Denial Of Sensibility; seen in inadequately advanced humans, whose physiology is incapable of supporting higher brain function), so they just needed to share the best they know how.

Thank you for what you do, Charles. Don't let the knuckle(head) draggers get you down.

Very Glad You Are Back!

If you can't find out who did this, does it mean that it could happen again?

I surely hope not.

I almost wonder if CBS contracted someone to do a DOS attack on LGF in an attempt to get revenge for the Memogate scandal precisely on the day the firings occurred. But that would be sounding like a moonbat conspiracy theorist, right? ;)

Just goes to show you that free speech is alive and well. Unless you don't agreee with us. Then we'll shut you down.
LLL

Glad you're back - missed my fix yesterday.

#46 Charles

I have no information about who's responsible for the attack, sorry.

Charles, I wouldn't expect you to post a list of suspects even if you knew who they were. Better to let the Feds handle it. I'm just glad you're back online.

Wasn't Allahpundit down yesterday, too?

Charles,

You're back, I'm back, the world is a good place. At first when I tried to get onto LGF I thought it was the mil firewall keeping me out; I'm sorry to hear you've been attacked, hopefully a lizardoid counteroffensive can be mounted!

Andrew B., I love The Cure -- great choice :-)

Poitiers-Lepanto (#72)

Life without LGF is imposssible !

This is true.

someone out doesn't like you?
well, let's see. How about:
mapes
rather
hayward
cbs
moveon.org
electric typewriters
leftists
liberals
moonbats of all kinds
the DNC
most of the democratic party
liars
the u.n.
and a lot of other crud-eating dipshits that i could think of, but don't want to waste the space.
look on the bright side, charles, what better crowd to be disliked by.

and if it happens again, someone will know the wrath of the lizards big-time.

As frustrating as yesterday was, I am really getting a kick out of it. Nobody would bother if LGF wasn't doing important work, and since someone went to sooo much trouble to take it down, it must be making some lll out there in the blue states hopping mad.

God forgive me, that affords me exquisite pleasure.

70 bblatt11 1/11/2005 08:55AM PST

Oy! All this yiddish is so intoxicating. To the perps who attacked our beloved LGF, and who I'm sure must be reading this, Gay Kish Kleyn Faigle Tuchas, dumbasses!

I need a DOS (denial of service) like a luchenkup...(yiddish for a hole in the head)

This massive attack has been an act of war against Freedom of Speech.

It gives us an idea of the mind of our enemies: they want to silence us.

The ideal of the marxist-fascists, friends of the ilsamofascists is to silence every dissenting voice.

Back is beautiful. He's back, and I'm proud. Baby got back. Etc.

Welcome back... Need the LGF input (not to say "fix"). Clarles, you really get under the skin of somebody out there and we can all pretty much guess who!
C.

Thank you I was starting to have withdrawls

And, BTW,

HI CBS !

We are baaack !

zulubaby:

you didn't tell me that you loved me!

Amata nobis quantum amabitur nulla.

Well, every cloud has a silver lining.
In this case, the temporary relocation of LGF talk to
[Link: www.discardedlies.com...]
meant that I got to scroll around that website and find this
[Link: www.discardedlies.com...]
invaluable contribution about the idiocy of the global warming crowd.
A must read.

Thanks to Stephanie and all the others at Hosting Matters. They were courteous when I enquired what was happening to several blogs I couldn't access and it was HM that told me what was happening and what they were planning to do about it. But not once did she express annoyance at their clients who drew the attack. That's very professional and I'm glad they are showing courage in the face of this obvious attempt to derail Charles publishing THE TRUTH!

At least we know we're getting to them when someone would go to all the trouble it took to pull this attack off. Big ups, Charles! To you and to Hosting Matters!

Al Gore did it.

After all, HE invented the internet so that makes him the only person qualified to have done this.

The site is running real fast.

The Media Matrix has used this attack: they have seen we could not answer and they have not mentioned (except Hannity, but he is unplugged) the Blogosphere, nor LGF.

O'Reilly, in particular, succeeded in talking for ten minutes without mentioning the blogs.

Ah...but the chutzpah of the DOS attack had me so frimish? because I had to keep schlepping back to my computer to check the site. All of that work made me want to plotz. From the people who brought you Spanglish, comes Yidlish, a new language for a new century.

Owing to the LGF hickups I was also pleased to find that Charles' hosting people share the same acronym that I use here :-)

Punk leftists never stop proving what hate-filled, ideologically bigoted, low-lives they are.

To all the leftists out there who brought a temporary stop to the free exchange of ideas at LGF: (something you wont find on CBS or any other network for that matter)
Fuck you.

# 53 WriterMom

I'll chip in for the manicure if he gets his nails painted with red, white and blue sparkly polish. Or black. You can never go wrong with black fingernails. Matches with everything.

Glad to have you back, Charles. My kids were tired of me bothering them yesterday. They really wanted to go read that "football thing" and leave them alone.

Q, you heartbreaker ;-)

Zulu...I chose it because it is our song...

Can you hear that in the distance? It is the sound of my heart pounding back and forth for your eternal sunshine to rain down upon my mortal coil. I will always cherish our little sentences that EVERYONE CAN READ. lol

Wow did I just write something pathetically romantic and borderline stalker-like? Oh ok...yeah I did...just checking.

#92 trendsurfer,

Indeed, this is the fastest that I've ever experienced.

Gay Kish Kleyn Faigle Tuchas

Throw in "and" before Tuchas and it sounds like a law firm.

Thank God. Charles, your very existance makes me happy.

Wow did I just write something pathetically romantic and borderline stalker-like?

LOL! I don't know what I did to deserve all this attention but I'm loving it! ;-)

Okay, gotta run ... see you gorgeous people later.

This attack goes to show that someone really doesn't like all the GOOD that is going on here at LGF!

I totally agree with your analysis...

A nice Jewish boy you are...

I know just the girl for you...she works at the local Chabad.

Oy! Vey!

So pleased to see LGF today. I very much missed you, yesterday!

Thank God. Charles, your very existance makes me happy.

Indeed, as a result of this site being down I had to resort to something as ghastly as watching TV!

Is lgf-safe-mail.php working today?

Charles:

Please think about running a thread on the following news release as the technical discovery outlined in it could mean the beginning of the end for the oil ticks. The MSM is barely saying anything about it and I think it is one of the most important technical discoveries announced in the last decade.

[Link: www.ctv.ca...]

New plastic can better convert solar energy
Canadian Press

TORONTO — Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented an infrared-sensitive material that's five times more efficient at turning the sun's power into electrical energy than current methods.

The discovery could lead to shirts and sweaters capable of recharging our cellphones and other wireless devices, said Ted Sargent, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the university.

Sargent and other researchers combined specially-designed minute particles called quantum dots, three to four nanometres across, with a polymer to make a plastic that can detect energy in the infrared.

Infrared light is not visible to the naked eye but it is what most remote controls emit, in small amounts, to control devices such as TVs and DVD players.

It also contains a huge untapped resource -- despite the surge in popularity of solar cells in the 1990s, we still miss half of the sun's power, Sargent said.

"In fact, there's enough power from the sun hitting the Earth every day to supply all the world's needs for energy 10,000 times over,'' Sargent said in a phone interview Sunday from Boston. He is currently a visiting professor of nanotechnology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Sargent said the new plastic composite is, in layman's terms, a layer of film that "catches'' solar energy. He said the film can be applied to any device, much like paint is coated on a wall.

"We've done the same thing, but not with something that just sit there on the wall the way paint does,'' said the Ottawa native.

"We've done it to make a device which actually harnesses the power in the room in the infrared.''

The film can convert up to 30 per cent of the sun's power into usable, electrical energy. Today's best plastic solar cells capture only about six per cent.

Sargent said the advance would not only wipe away that inefficiency, but also resolve the hassle of recharging our countless gadgets and pave the way to a true wireless world.

"We now have our cellphones and our BlackBerries and we're walking around without the need to plug in, in order to get our data,'' he said.

"But we seem trapped at the moment in needing to plug in to get our power. That's because we charge these things up electrically, from the outlet. But there's actually huge amounts of power all around us coming from the sun.''

The film has the ability to be sprayed or woven into shirts so that our cuffs or collars could recharge our IPods, Sargent said.

While that may sound like a Star Trek dream, venture capitalists are keen to Sargent's invention.

Josh Wolfe, managing partner at Lux Capital, a New York City-based venture capital firm, said while such a luxury may be five years away, the technology knows no bounds.

"When you have a material advance which literally materially changes the way that energy is absorbed and transmitted to our devices... somebody out there tinkering away in a bedroom or in a government lab is going to come up with a great idea for a new device that will shock us all,'' he said in a phone interview.

"When the Internet was created nobody envisioned that the killer app (application) would be e-mail or instant messaging.''

Sargent's work was published in the online edition of Nature Materials on Sunday and will appear in its February issue.

zulubaby

Andrew B., you didn't tell me that you loved me! LOL.

You're too modest, zulubaby. We ALL love you! Me, most of all - and I'm having a REALLY hard time keeping the innuendo-laden comments down! (dang it, there goes one anyway!)

#106 Just Plain Frank

I agree :

CHARLES this was an attack with a very clear meaning for your personal security.

Sorry to say it but it is true and you need to step up your security.

zulubaby...

NOOO Don't leave me...again.

Ever moment without your words is like an eternity with goyum and no Kosher food around for miles...

Welcome back, Charles & lizardoids!

The DOS attack was not an attempt to silence free speech. It was a revolutionary enforcement of speech codes.

#109 PL-

:-)

#110 Andrew B.

Oy Vey indeed!
They say that when the first astronauts landed on the man, a strange man dressed in long black coat with a long beard approached them with a mass of leather straps and said
"Welcome to the Lunar Chabad. Have you put on Tefillin recently?"

The DOS attack confirms what I wrote a few days ago, that someone out there doesn’t like me; but your emails show that I also have friends, for which I’m enormously grateful.

You must be doing a good job if evil people are out to get you.

Charles, I heard you on the Patriot in the Twin Cities this weekend while you were on the Northern Alliance guys' radio show. Sounded fine as usual.

OH, I AM SOOO GLAD LGF is back!

I made the connection between the CBS Rathergate story and LGF being gone too. I was beginning to wonder when the gestapo was going to confiscate my computer.

LGF IS BACK! LGF IS BACK! LGF IS BACK! LGF IS BACK!

Did you hear LGF IS BACK!

Welcome back Charles! I can feel my LGF DTs subside as I type...

In case anyone from Hosting Solutions is lurking, if and/or when I ever move up to a "paid" blog, Hosting Solutions is the way I'm going to go.

#55 David Simon

There was a definitive spike in my billable hours yesterday.

I would have been quite productive yesterday, if I hadn't spent half the day searching the web to find out where everyone was hanging out...

I started out just searching "LGF" & "littlegreenfootballs" with very disappointing results (eg: LGFwatch). I eventually revised my search method by googling "LGF" plus random lizard names that I could remember (zombie, VtheK, Iron Fist...). Finally got a hit on discarded lies with "LGF zulubaby".

I knew you all had to be somewhere!

I don't want to start any rumors, but . . . Dan Rather stayed home from work yesterday. ; )

Bless you, Charles.

Good to see you back, Charles.

I wonder if the release on Monday morning wasn't an attempt to slow the internet reaction and give CBS the maximum time to spin without much competition; many (most?) bloggers have gone to work then and don't have time to post, as opposed to Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, Sunday ...

Sorry, Charles, it's all my fault you were hit. I didn't get to sacrifice that goat to the net gods. They got mean and hit my favorite site. And they don't take Visa.

:-)

Glad to see you're back. Yesterday was not pretty.

that I also have friends, for which I’m enormously grateful

Charles, WE are anormously grateful !
You have built a Home for thought and you have opened a decisive front in the war against the enemies of Freedom.

AArrgh...all this flying bandwidth, and zulubaby leaves!

Q, Andrew B., is there room in zulubaby's heart for all of us, or am I going to have to fire up the old panzer? ;^)

the left's DOS attack on LGF is not too far from the Nazi's burning books inthe 1930's in Germany...you can silence the messengers only temporarily.

I don't post much, but i did miss my first source for news; keep up the outstanding work charles, et al.

I'm old school I just got load the old six shooter and I'm ready, unless moon clips count as locking?

Missed Y'all. Sure was good to find the double secret alternate site yesterday. Glad to see that the trolls didn't.

Andrew B. - Where you been?

Whew!
Charles, glad everything is ok. Also glad it wasn't me. I was walking around for two days wondering if I was wearing a brown choker!

Friends? As George Bailey's kid brother would say, you're the richest man in town!

Charles:

It's like a variation on a theme from Eddie Murphy's "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood" sketch from SNL ...

"Go into your Mother's room and tell her the word you just learned. I'll wait."

"Did Mommy slap you? Then you said it right!"

** The secret word, of course, was "B*tch." **

My point being what everyone else here has said, but I had to throw in a little humor, for I know what it's like to whittle one's fingernails down to the quick. Glad you're back to work, pissing off LLL's the cyber-world over!

"Welcome to the Lunar Chabad. Have you put on Tefillin recently?"

LMFAO

Dude...I am on the EFFING FLOOR!

Every Friday at my job these 2 Braucha Boys come in...you know the Ulra-Orthodox guys...well they come in and they try to get me to do the Tefillin and all that Jazz...

I love those guys...always trying to make me MORE JEWISH.

If that is humanly possible.

Welcome back Charles!

They can't keep a good man down for long!

#132 Cold Warrior

the left's DOS attack on LGF is not too far from the Nazi's burning books inthe 1930's in Germany

That has been my ranting for the whole evening, yesterday.

LLL MSM...we are back, fear again and tremble.

Great...the shakes are slowly going away...

I hope everyone had seen this yesterday -

British Muslims called to take up jihad

Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammed, leader of the now officially disbanded Islamic militant group Al Muhajiroun told United Press International Saturday that as the covenant of security under which Muslims previously lived in Britain has been broken, Muslims must now consider themselves at war.

"And I declare we should ourselves join the global Islamic camp against the global crusade camp," he said.

Nothing to see here...keep moving...

My withdrawl was tempered by my anger at the uberlibs who did this. Welcome back Charles!

Great to have you back in the saddle, and on the job! Hail to the Great Lizard Master! We're not worthy.

You guys think the LEFT is paranoid? Not a single person brought up the fact that it might have NOTHING to do with politics.

DOS attacks happen, mostly by hackers who want to see if it'll work.

If you want to piss off people at LGF you're better off posting a fact or two. That always raised an firestorm!

Hey! Bush's Social Security plan is a nightmare! Bush lied to the country! Sean Penn, as an actor, has as much of a right to his opinion as Ronald Reagan did and Schwatzenager does! We gave Saddam WMD! The rest of the world hates us, and bush can't figure out why!

See? No technical expertise needed, and there are 100's of you frothing at the mouth right now.

Mary Mapes and Frontline? Sounds like a match made in heaven hell.

OT:Four British Terrorists to be Returned to Britain from GITMO I bring this up only to point out that one of them has been whining about being "tortured."

He says an interrogator stood on his hair, he was exposed to extreme temperatures and he was forced to clean up his own urine after he wet himself while shackled.

So, cleaning yourself up after you soil yourself is now considerd "torture."

Just a wee small public service reminder:

As sweet and ironic as we all can be here on LGF, let's not forget to raise a toast to the serious accomplishment of Charles and LGF as the foremost cyber warrior in the War on Terror.

CHEERS! TO CHARLES, TO LGF, TO THE LGF COMMUNITY!

There also ought to be a thread about eh evil "neocon" Michael Chertoff. :-)

I heard CNN mention his work on the Whitewater investigation "where no one was convicted" ... well except everyone but the Clintons.

Glad you're back, Charles!

LLL "tolerance" shows it's nasty face again, I fear. But, not to worry, free speech wins again!

#163

Not to be a cynic, but this might happen again, so 'Here's a Toast to the dead already, Hooray for the next to die!" Like Buffy, LGF will just keep coming back.

The inconvenience of the site being down while CBS released its report, is nothing compared to the value of the site being UP while Dan Rather and CBS tried to perpetrate their fraud!

#162 Abu Messerschmidt

No doubt they'll have a connecting flight to Damascus, followed by overland travel into Iraq, where they will become "insurgents".

i couldn't find the double secret alternate site yesterday *sniff* just kept trying to log on here and going nuts each time it wouldn't pull up...

glad we're back up and running!

Shucks, I actually LIKE it when you stick around here, it's fun watching you get your a$$ handed to you.

Ah, I see. I'm a country boy at heart, even though raised in the 'burbs. Give me ten guns, a coon dog, and a plot of land where you can't see the neighbours' smoke, and I'm happy.

I wondered, since you blog hasn't been updated since like October!

Can't see that the snot nosed shitbird at # 146 has anything to be proud about, unless it's the size of the droppings it leaves at it's own site.

Charles, I do agree with everyone else, you're doing something right when some idiot wants to take you down!
((( LGF )))...I'm only keeping the hugs to 3 each :)

Gotta go school the kiddos, check in later!

Welcome back, Charles!

Moonbats, Islamofascists and the MSM. You've got great enemies.

OT: Israeli and Palestinian Leaders Agree to Peace Talks

Some interesting bits:

The phone call was the first direct contact between the two leaders since the election.

Sharon “congratulated him on his personal achievement and his victory in the elections and wished him luck,” said a statement issued by the prime minister’s office. “They agreed they would continue talking in the near future.”

After shunning Arafat for the last four years, Israeli officials have said they are eager to get to work with Abbas.

A senior Defence Ministry official said that Israel is ready to hand over to the Palestinians security duties in West Bank cities.

Glad you're back. I kept ckng the site yesterday at work and got the "not available" message. Thought our IS dept here was blocking it! Couldn't live w/o LGF and all its posters-that's how I get my news.

LGF Watch: I checked out your site. Regarding your most recent post about that student being a Republican, what difference does that make to how he was treated? If the student had been a Democrat and had written an anti-USA screed and the Professor was a Republican (fat chance but it could happen) and forced the kid into therapy, I would consider the behaviour of the professor just as heinous and unacceptable. Your ideological slant is taking you to a faulty conclusion. The moral issue in that story is not the political views that either the student or the professor held but how the professor behaved toward the student. The professor's behaviour toward the student was completely unacceptable.

Charles- So glad that you'r back! The world is not quite the same without Little Green Footballs!

#180 Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus

I really have no time anymore to blog...:(

I miss it a lot.

I'll be back in some way or another...

I agree w/ Proud Liberal

Hey! Bush's Social Security plan is a nightmare! Bush lied to the country! Sean Penn, as an actor, has as much of a right to his opinion as Ronald Reagan did and Schwatzenager does! We gave Saddam WMD! The rest of the world hates us, and bush can't figure out why!

Sean Penn is as entitled to his opinions, however retarded, as any other American citizen, although I'm curious if he violated US law travelling to Iraq to give Saddam a neck rub before the war.

Proud Loser may be full of crap 99^44/100% of the time, but I pride myself on being fair.

I actually started shaking from the withdrawel yesterday. I don't post much, but I lurk EVERY day. I am also off to the tip jar.

OT- Kevin Leffler was on the Frank Beckman show looking for more true and not so flattering stories about Michael Moore for his new movie Shooting Michael Moore. Oddly enough, he's having trouble finding someone to distribute the movie and no one will insure him. The insurance companies have told him that there's a 100% probability that Mikey will sue him and they don't want to be involved. How did such a slob become so "important"? I'm disgusted with 58 million of my countymen.

[Link: www.shootingmichaelmoore.com...]

The San Jose Mercury displayed how clueless the MSM is yesterday. With this attack so public, you would have thought their "Tech Monday" section would say something about it. Since it started several days ago, with big blogs down, not just LGF, that they would have a clue.

Yet this is the headline on an article on page 4E. "Widespread attack on Web likely, Net experts believe." This is like December 8th, 1941 having a headline; ""Japs" might attack", Or September 12, 2001, "Planes crashing into buildings possible danger". Total cluelessness. And this is the paper that serves Silicon Valley!

Or is it that they kkknew and said nothing? Putting on tin hat. Turning face to wall. "Nothing to see here."

I know coincidences happen, but this is just too convenient. Like the DNC & CBS just happened to be working on the same stuff.

Thanks Charles for doing what you do. You are appreciated.

#190 Mentat

Regarding your most recent post about that student being a Republican, what difference does that make to how he was treated?

To the LLL, being a Republican is reason enough to recommend mandatory therapy. So of course, it matters enormously.

BTW, is your nic a Dune referrence?

I am so happy you are back. I was afraid you closed down the site and I was lost.
I love your site.
Welcome back!

OT: UN blocks publication of the world's thinnest book, Freedom and good governance in the Arab world.

Too bad #146 - Snidelefties-dot-com is gone. He/she/it/they won't get to link to this NRO article comparing the modern left to the movie Robot Monster,

Robot Monster is a notorious 1953 example of incompetent moviemaking that has entered into popular mythology. Even if you never heard of the movie, chances are you have glimpsed Ro-Man himself. He is the man in the gorilla suit wearing an old-fashioned diving helmet topped by two TV antennas.

Robot Monster the movie may be bottom of the barrel for cheap special effects, script, acting, editing, and other such incidentals, but Ro-Man the character transcends his part. He is the die-hard wing of the Democratic party contesting the Ohio vote: "A miscalculation in the 22nd category of 16 billionths." He is the politically correct college administrator complaining about the uncanny persistence of conservative students: "Great Guidance, I do not understand how they survived the deadly Calcinator C-Ray!" He is Howell Raines, Dan Rather, and Michael Moore swelling with power and proud confusion, where would-be seriousness spills over into the haplessly ridiculous.

OT

January 11, 2005 -- LEFT-WING billionaire and Bush-hater George Soros was not content to spend millions to thwart a Bush victory in last November's presidential election. Now his Open Society Institute in New York is joining forces with pro-Tehran lobbying group to promote the interests and the viewpoint of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Vote for Soros.

I just wish that Sean Penn and people like him understood that the same applies to the rest of us...

I am sure that it was just a "random" and "magical" "coincidence" that LGF happened to be down for 20+ hours yesterday.

Secularists/Liberals are always telling me how this universe is "random" and "meaningless" and how in reality things happen for no logical reason and without any underlying Cause or purpose.

Don't bother responding, I won't be back today.

Talk about a case study.

Winston Churchill said something like:

"Be glad you have enemies for that means you stood up for something."

Both #146 and #204.

Mentat #114,

This story was discussed at Slashdot yesterday. See this particular thread, where one poster mentions he met one of the authors of the report. The actual achievement was a more modest gain in efficiency. Nevertheless, nanoresearch on solar technology is just beginning, so it is possible these or similar levels could be achieved fairly soon. The spectacular breakthrough will be the lowering of cost this type of solar cell represents. If they can go above 10% efficiency for a cell this cheap and easy to manufacture, then you will have the beginnings of a revolution in the construction industry, and energy industry, at large. Having 30% efficiency at this cost with the ability to put solar cells almost anywhere, including on clothing, as the article says, would be outrageous and would change virtually everything.

Kudos to you and HostingMatters. I'm in the market for some web hosting and they sound like the kind of company I would like to deal with,

Actually Goyum translates as "the nations" and is not anymore dergatory than saying "those people" in the South. It's a designation preference, not an insult. Plus, it sounds like a gong, as in Goooyuuum

Hurrah!
Now we can get back down to the business of educating ourselves and others about the real threats to America. Both national and international. Glad LGF is back.

Andrew B.'s #117 may have been in poor taste and not very smart, but FYI: contrary to what the jew-haters are saying, goyim does not have any offensive or pejorative connotations. It simply means "non-Jews".

Glad to see LGF back up, I do hope that the perps are prosecuted to, at least, the full extent of the law.

Since I no longer have anything to do with MSM, outiside of checking LGF at least 10 times yesterday, I just curled up with a good book.

Welcome back Charles and keep up the fine work!

When LGF was down, I checked for LGF Watch Watch, and I found its new home at http://www.discardedlies.com (Discarded Lies) - and what should I see there, but Charles and the temporary home of LGF.

Thanks to Evariste and Zorkmidden at Discarded Lies for being there and being so good. And I have to say, I really like the Emoticons, Charles (hint hint).

LGF Watch Watch hmmm... See Dan. See Dan Run. RunDan, Run. See LGF. See LGF Watch. See LGF Watch Dan Run, Rund Dan, Run Run. Watch LGF, Watch, Watch.

Charles:

Thank heavens you are back. I thought something was wrong with my computer. I don't post much, but lurk every day and I really missed you and the others. My sanity has returned. Thank you for your great work here.

Welcome back Charles...what no postcard?

Just Kidding!

Finally, a slice of sanity has returns to the web...

Keep up the great work Charles... I'm newly registered member here (though a longtime reader) who sprang on your half-day window-of-opportunity for registration :-)

I was turned onto your site from links on the estimable Robert Spencer's JihadWatch.org.

Good luck!

Moonbats Continue to Eat Their Own

They can't even get it together to organize a protest, parade, or whatever without fighting among themselves.

Look, I appreciate the generous spirit of inclusion and all, but the naked truth is that if you go to the ANSWER rally you're a tool.

followed by

Sorry - but ANSWER's call for a counter-inaugural protest precedes both DAWN's call and the creation of the local DC counter-inaugural org coalition - by a matter of some months. Let's try and keep our facts straight.

and then

- Spanky, the same can be said of UFPJ - which appears to be nothing more than alliance between equally authoritarian parties, including the mother of all stalinist groups - the Communist Party USA, CCDS, ( a CP-lite group ) and a plenthora of liberal NGOs, think tanks and religious groups.

Yes, it's fuckleberries on parade.

Atlasshrugged and I are convinced that this DoS attack was an attempt to shut down Charles and other sane bloggers when the report came out.

:) thank you claudia...

And while I’m in gratitude mode, thanks also to evariste and zorkmidden of Discarded Lies for allowing me to inflict my verbosity on their blog while LGF was down.

Infict? Nay!

Thanks to them indeed! For allowing the rest of us to trample through the kitchen, spill our drinks and soil the carpet...

Fuckleberries. LMAO!

Amazingly, here's an audio recording of the debate:

DC-IMC exclusive audio files

I dont get it? What exactly happened there?

What is a DOS "attack" exactly?

I did not realize how addicted our household was to LGF until you went down. The moaning and whining about who was going to have to read the entire Memogate report now that Charles wasn't there to do it for us was simply deafening.

I dare you to ban me!

According to LGF Watch if I say that not all Arabs are evil then I will be banned from LGF.

Okay. Let me test it.

Not all Arabs are evil. In fact I sincerely believe that some of them are righteous and moral.

Not quoted in lgfwatch were others who made statements that should have got them banned.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder - yes - but in the case of LGF and Charles, the addicted hardly need the demonstration, at least this addict doesn't. Thanks much to Charles and HM for the work to get the site back up.

For those of you who have never been the target of attacks like this, you can't know how bad it is for Charles and HM. I am most impressed by the support Hosting Matters gives Charles.

I and several sites I had were targets. One site was under constant attack for 2 years and the other for three years. I was the unlucky recipient personally on and off (mostly on) for most of five years. One site was a conservative site that had what might be termed a blog section (except the term wasn't in use then). The site had the hightest traffic figures of any of the sites hosted by my then ISP. I ran the site for a client but ended up being a major contributor to the content as well as my function as the "webmaster". The other site was totally different and solely my responsibility - the traffic and controversy associated with that one was even higher - I don't intend to be mysterious , it would just take too long to explain it.

Anyway, here's a list of some of the things that happened to me and others involved: dos attacks, "bombs" sent to our ISP, working with the FBI to catch the bad guys - never did (bite lip to prevent commenting), a bug placed in a telephone company box down the road that serviced our home (not by the good guys), numerous daily emails containing viruses, hijacked email addresses which were used to send bogus, damaging emails in my name, a successful inside job at the ISP which allowed my business domain name to expire and be snapped up by a porno creep, an attempted break-in and, like Charles' problem, I got signed up for every undesireable service the 'net had to offer from spammers to breast enhancement peddlers. Someone even managed to use one of my email addresses to send a huge spam mailing - that was ghastly as the replies and autoreplies from the recipients came flooding into one of my mail boxes. No fun, believe me. That happened four years ago and there wasn't much info around that helped me to deal with it. Dealing with all the problems wasn't cheap btw.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much hassle Charles and HM are dealing with right now by relating some of my experiences. Also want to state that my husband and I are about to set up new websites for ourselves, our businesses and various sites for clients. Because of the way Hosting Matters has supported Charles "in his hour of need" we will be doing our business with them.

Any of you who are looking for a host might consider doing the same. You support them, you support Charles by showing them how valuable he is as a referral tool - though they already obviously do appreciate him.

One more thing - we emailed HM with a question about their services and got a response from them in less than an hour, despite the fact that they were dealing with all kinds of problems yesterday. These people are true professionals.

Charles - keep your chin up and take the advice on personal security seriously, please.

Well, unlike a Nazi-burned book, LGF comes back, better than ever.

#245 Psyduck

In a nutshell, a Denial Of Service attack is an automated search that floods the server with such massive numbers of page requests that it is so tied up that no one else can access it. Multiple computers are used (with a Trojan Horse to highjack them, IIRC) to amplify the effect.

That may be oversimplified, so perhaps someone more tach-savvy can elaborate.

Who the fuck is this guy? You obviously don't know anything about Yiddish do you Mr. Devil...

What a shocker...

Do me a favor numb nutz...

Shave your ass and walk backwards...It'll improve your English.

Psyduck, a DOS (Denial of Service) attack is easier to understand if you think of it this way. Imagine running a program on your computer that tells your modem to dial the phone number of someone you don't like and hang up every ten seconds.

The person you don't like would be completely unable to use his phone, it would be ringing constantly, and he couldn't pick up his phone to dial out because chances are it would be answering at the time.

DDOS, or Distributed Denial Of Service would be like getting a whole lot of people to run the modem dialing program. Sometimes this is done via a Virus or trojan program so the people "helping" don't even know they're doing it.

So very glad to see you.

"I am really ashamed of all these stupid posts. We are ALL going to protest the most evil man in human history and all you typically imbecile spoiled amerikan children can do is start to knife each other over ego details. Maybe the retard cowboy really does represent you all. "

The barking reaches fever pitch. I may revisit that thread to observe the apoplexy which is sure to come, LOL!

I actually had to WORK yesterday w/o LGF to fall back on...sheesh...of all the horrible fates.

SO glad to see everyone back and up to their usual selves...Iron Fist...you always make me lagh.

And can someone explain #247 to me? I don't get the relevance.

#254 Andrew B - I'm well aware of what it means - like you, I'm Jewish. If you insert another non-bad word - say schwartze - in place of goyim, can you understand why people would be offended?

In any event, you obviously didn't mean it the way I took it. Thanks for the clarification.

Charles... Glad you're back and evidently if they didn't kill you they made you stronger.

Now comes the happy dance and it seems right to chant what my kids say at times like this,

Shake your booty at the bad guys!

Major props to Hosting Matters! I also sent them a thank you e-mail.

mit ain touckas nist tanze twzi chasanas

sort of like being pro american and trying to say you are a liberal too. or being pro american and liking the u.n. the list could be endless.

On another subject mentioned the bank that gives home loans for muslim customers. The bank in question does in fact have a very diverse employee staff as well a lot of there customers are russian speakers and yiddish speakers as well and they have employees who can speak these and other lang which are spoken in my part of chicago. Nothing wrong with a capitalist finding a product to sell. I have used that bank in question for over 25 years.

I don't know about you, but on election night, I ditched all the long faces at the Aipac party in favor of the RNC-Dubya party. I found the company to be far superior, strangely enough.

translation with one butt you can't dance at two weddings

the real meaning is you can't be for two oppisit things at the same time an example would be JEWS FOR J. you can be a jew or you can be a christian but not at the same time

I was at a chabad chasana (wedding) last nite they were discussing which brocha (blessing) to say on jan 20th they were not sure but they all agreed a l'chiam would be in order. as everyone was glad skerry was defeated. In the old country you would say a blessing if you saw the King but America is different no kings so the question was what would you say if you saw the president? Orthox jews and russian jews voted for President Bush many in chabad are both orthro and russian so you would know that he was popular.

I'm both (pro-)American and a liberal. And a proud one (on both counts) to boot.

#271 - Q

I agree...I'm pro-American and liberal...but maybe not the definition of liberal that most people think of. I'm the type of liberal that actually wants to liberate, who wants to live her life without gov't, and lets others live their lives w/o all the dang regulation.

Unfortunately the term liberal has been twisted over the last 40 years. Now it means un-American, Christian bashing, Commi-Sympathizer...at least it does when I hear it. :-) And I picture a pot smoking, birkenstock wearing, Evergreen hippy student (and I love birkenstocks!).

Okay...don't yell at me...I know not all "liberals" are like the summary above. I even work with some of them. But a lot of them are.

My family is thrilled that I'm no longer walking around the house complaining that, "LGF is offline. LGF is offline. LGF is offline."

Truman idea of liberal and michael moores idea of liberal would also fit the def.
truman was anti communist and michael moore is not

if you were dancing at truman wedding you could not dance at michael moores

Very glad site is back and on the wire. Missed my required daily reading and lizoid comments and perspective on the days events both locally and globally. Keep up the great work Charles and may the moorlocks suffer the frozen keyboard curse.

megscole 64 (#272):

Yes, exactly. Genuine liberals now have to precede their self-definition with a qualifier "classical" or some such.

The popular designation of "liberal" has been hijacked by the authoritarian marxists -- not without the acquiescence from the conservatives who have gleefully seized onto "liberal" as a negative label.

For the record, I don't buy the "conservatives are the true liberals" flapdoodle, either. Let's face it, some American conservatives stand for some pretty illiberal things.

Charles:

don't ever doubt your ability or influence. you've stumbled onto something truly significant.

consider the DOS attack an indication of your success.

Reminds me of Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451, where the bookburners are thwarted in an ingenious way.

Last year, Ray Bradbury demanded an apology from filmmaker Michael Moore for lifting the title of the book without permission, and he said he wanted the documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" to be renamed. I wonder what ever happened with that.

Morlocks be damned!

See, there's no disagreement at all. :-)

I think the extreme so called conservatives are no such thing...but rather as you say very 'illiberal'.

The definition of conservative to me is someone who wants to maintain personal traditional values without government influence or regulation...it's someone who wants to protect the nation and standards by which it was founded.

I'm sure someone has a much better and more eloquent definition. :-)

Welcome back Charles. I, like many of your readers, was lost without LGF. I agree that you must be doing something right and getting the truth out for someone to attack you. You do have many friends.

I was blind but now I see. Welcome back.

Whew, Charles, you are a breath of fresh air! I'm glad you're back. As for the morlocks, well, the hell with them!

I usually don't post here but I just had to add my welcome back comments to Charles.

Charles, you were so missed; your services to this country and its citizens are necessary. Therefore the people who disabled you are traitors and should be hunted down and tried and when convicted--imprisoned forever.
