A tale of two tales
You know, there's two stories going on regarding the TV ad...ummm...gate and the decision of the Kennedy camp to close the shutters and shield the kids.
There's the one in the mainstream media, which is.... pretty well reserved and not very "technical." (Go ahead, try to explain what "commenting out" items on a page means vs. "taking the site down") and relatively sedate.
And then there's the one on the blogs which is, to my way of thinking, much more entertaining. Maybe it's just that it's OK in the blogosphere to even have a personality that makes it so fascinating.
Not much more for me to weigh in on on this mess. Heck, I'm too busy watching the pies go back and forth.

Oh, by the way, I just finished the Senate poll numbers that will be released Monday morning. If anyone wants to know how to protect a Web site so data like that can't be culled, let me know. Sounds like a growth industry.
Kennedy's site hasn't really been locked down. And that's causing another pie fight.
This is all Al Gore's fault.
