"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

Paranoia Is Egocentric

Apparently number of right-wing bloggers -- all on the same hosting provider -- are "under seige" from "Islamofacist hackers." Michelle Malkin is gallantly organizing the defense.

Here's a secret. Michelle, Ed, gang: $10 a month mass-hosting sites often experience outages. When your business model is based on over-subscribing your infrastructure, it doesn't take much to foul you up. If you want rock-solid hosting, you have to pay for it, or throw your lot in with a large-scale ASP host (and accept the reduced range of options that result).

For anyone in the biz, it's kind of funny to see how these support threads (one, two) turn into "We're under attack from crazies in Saudi Arabia."

It may or may not be true that this is a pissing match over some postings. But this is huge news for these people, and it's kind of pathetic.

Meanwhile, in Darfur...
