Politics: Andrew Sullivan’s blog reportedly has an obsessive reader (not us)

  • Sources with access to Palin have indeed told to me that the Wasilla whack-job was an obsessive reader of this blog as it dared to ask factual questions about her past that could be easily answered.
  • Super-blogger (and SFB fave) Andrew Sullivan • Posting yesterday about Sarah Palin, who reportedly wanted to sue Sullivan for statements he made regarding the birth of her daughter, Trig. We really like Gawker’s account of the whole thing, but are big fans of the way Andy himself worded word of the potential libel suit, too. • source

Politics: Andrew Sullivan sez the Baucus bill could be a “game-changer”

  • If healthcare reform actually lowers the deficit over the long run according to the CBO, then resistance on that score should crumble. That’s why this bill may have more legs than it first appeared. It will appeal to fiscal worry-warts like yours truly. It will be manna for Independents.
  • Atlantic columnist Andrew Sullivan • Discussing the implications of the Baucus health care bill, which he says might pull off the magic trick of giving the working poor reasonable health care AND not raising the deficit. Sullivan, who has a pretty strange mix of political ideologies, suggests that if conservatives don’t support a bill like this, “then the joke in the end is on them.” • source

Politics, Tech: OK, who are the crazy hackers keeping Andrew Sullivan down?

  • The Atlantic is under digital attack. Between a tweet and a two-sentence post on Andrew Sullivan’s always-interesting blog, we know that some nefarious group is apparently keeping the smart words of the blogging guru off the Interweb via a Denial of Service attack. Since it’s hard to get into, here’s the post recreated: “The Atlantic is struggling to keep the site up despite what seems to be a digital attack. Please be persistent in trying to reload.” Seriously, what did Andrew Sullivan ever do to you? source
