Thanks to the hard work of Thad and Nat, it looks like we're back in business. We've still got some work to do, however, so please make a copy of anything important that you post -- we may lose some stuff until we get everything exactly right.

Update: I just had a phone conversation with an OlyBlogger who was concerned that his account had been hacked because there were lots of posts that weren't his. This is a technical issue that we're working on -- some posts don't match the author. We'll get it sorted out soon.

The video below is what the raid on Joe's house might have looked like, had he not been a member of the City Council.

After reading the Joe Hyer thread, I have serious questions about the identity of the blogger "chez." In fact, I've blocked the account. If there are really two people blogging on the same account, they can now each create their own account anew. One can remain anonymous on OlyBlog -- in fact, I think it's important that people have that option. But let's not play games with identities that are not our own.

Has anyone else received a comically transparent push poll by phone? Went something like this: "Would you be more or less likely to support Kingsbury based on the following information? [Followed by lots of positive statements about Jeff.] Would you be more or less likely to oppose Buxbaum based on the following information? [Followed by lots of negative statements about Stephen.] I guess this gives us some indication of the level of desperation in the Kingsbury camp.
