BluegrassReport.org: BluegrassReport.org Being BLOCKED By State Government:
"I've gotten a handful of e-mails this morning already that BluegrassReport.org has apparently been blocked to state computers by the Commonwealth Office of Technology. Readers in three different cabinets have e-mailed to tell me they get a 'blocked' message when they try to access the site.
Nothing like a little censorship with your breakfast. Welcome to the People's Republic of Kentucky.
UPDATE: I'm getting flooded with e-mails and a couple of phone calls from readers in other cabinets -- and other elected constitutional offices -- that the site has been blocked. But what's interesting is there's no problem allowing state workers to access the Republican Party of Kentucky or Fox News or Drudge Report or at least one conservative Kentucky blog. Pathetic.
UPDATE #2: The Bluegrass Institute's blog is accessible, as are the political blogs run by Mark Hebert and Pat Crowley. Looks like BGR is being targeted. What are they afraid of?
UPDATE #3: An e-mail from a reader:
Mark, got an email from a state employee friend today, to tell me that effective today 6/21, the COT has blocked Bluegrass Report and Wonkette on state computers.
You're traveling in rarified company - they shall know you by who censors you!" (Keep reading, it just gets worse, or better, depending your point of view) Damn, this looks like all out cyber war.
