The soldiers in Iraq are not allowed to visit this site. So that's why my traffic is so low!

Just to let you know, the US Marines have blocked access to “Wonkette” along with numerous other sites such as personal email (i.e. Yahoo, AT&T, Hotmail, etc), blogs that don't agree with the government point of view, personal websites, and some news organizatons.

This has taken effect as of the beginning of February. I have no problem with them blocking porn sites (after all it is a government network), but cutting off access to our email and possibly-not-toeing-the-government-line websites is a bit much.Initially all web blocking was done locally at the hub sites in Iraq. If you wanted a site “unblocked” you just had to email the local administrator with a reason (like, “I'd like to read my email, please.”), and if it wasn't porn or offensive, they'd allow it. Now, all blocking is done by desk-weenies at the USMC Network Operations Center in Quantico, VA, who really don't care if we get our email (or gossip) out here, as they get to go to happy hour after working 9 to 5 and go home to a nice clean, warm home with a real bed! (Sorry, I'm a little peeved.)

I am not sure if this e-mail is legit or not. I mean G.I.'s who don't care that the government blocks porn? Sounds fishy to me.

You know I found out recently that you cannot access my site on any of the elementary school computers. Why? I don't have any dirty pictures on here!

Actually I think the reason might be because of the use of the word "immoral" in the title. Of course that is just ridiculous. I mean I am no where near as immoral as the Bush administration, and you just know they can link to all of the government sites. So unfair!
