People in this country keep saying that we are the 51st state.

I'm still waiting for my tax break and constitutional rights.  ::)

Martha's Vineyard has been trying to do this since the '70s (secede from Massachusetts, and at one point secede from the United States). It will never happen.

Well, you have some beautiful women, but really we have plenty of liberals already, so you have to get rid of them first or the deal's off.

I think that DAT would agree with this destination for the liberals there--Indonesia.  Nice 'n' close, so the shipping charges wouldn't be too high.

I think it is too.  I did delete my browsing history (on Mozilla) and I cannot connect.  I tried it from IE and couldn't connect there, either. 

Oh well.

On the 3rd day, DU access is returning!
 
Finally, finally, finally my ISP provider has received the dns update and I'm not limping along here under a proxy at dial up like speeds.

Just some thoughts and reminders that may be helpful:

Yeah, looks like it was still down.  I just clicked and it opened.  This is the first post I saw.
