Some of you may have noticed that Windypundit was unavailable for parts of Saturday. It turns out that my hosting provider migrated Windypundit to a new server sometime in the last week or so. Normally, they'd also change the entries in the nameserver, which is the server that provides the link between the "windypundit.com" domain name and the IP address of the server that … [Read more...] about Bummer

I don't know anything about Rothfus, but Buchanan is a reprehensible human being: Buchanan promoted her eight years as Western Pennsylvania's top federal prosecutor even though opponents ridiculed … [Read more...] about So Long Mary Beth
