The Swamp will be switching over this afternoon to its new publishing software, Movable Type, from Typepad. We've been told that because of some problems with our archive, we will need to stop posting between 2 pm EDT and 6 pm EDT today.
It's kind of like the blog is going to be anesthetized while it's undergoing surgery.
I'm not sure what that means for posting comments and the guy who knows more about this stuff than yours truly hasn't responded yet to my frantic last-minute e-mail.
Earlier this week he e-mailed me to say: " 'The Swamp' " will be fully accessible to users during this time, but no new blog postings should be made."
I think that places us in the "post comments at your own risk" zone. Here's hoping it all works out and that we'll see you after we come to. Pray for us.
UPDATE: The aforementioned guy got back to me to say readers can continue to post comments to their heart's delight. So keep posting. It's only us reporters who shouldn't post.

Happy posting! See you guys when we're back up and running.

Hmmm. A hot Friday afternoon in DC, and a pub up the street. One thing we've learned from the Swamp is not to be gullible. If you, Mark, Christi, and the rest of the team wanted some cold ones, you only needed to ask, Frank.
Enjoy!

"It's only us reporters who shouldn't post."
You mean it is only you *liberal commentators* who should not post. People like Rush Limbaugh call themselves conservative commentators. Why can't you guys be honest and call yourselves liberal commentators?

Heckuva job, Frankie!

The only difference S. Sherman, is that if Rush Limpbag had their site go down, they would blame it on the liberals.
