McCain Privately Met With Dictator Pinochet

Veteran reporter John Dinges reports on HuffPost's OffThe Bus that U.S. embassy cables confirm that in '85 McCain had warm and friendly private meet with Chilean dictator Pinochet. No preconditions. No speaking up for democracy. Instead, they agreed that communism was bad.As an American with Chilean heritage, I must say that I am highly offended by this. My grandfather spent years in a concentration camp because of Augusto Pinochet. Thank God he made it out alive.Fuck you, John McCain.

"In the three key swing states, Obama leads McCain 10 to 23 percentage points among women, while men are too close to call." Obamamamas need to withhold nookie from any male McCain supporter. [...] Withhold sex until you get what you want. ;)

Why is Digg broken?

It has become the story of my life: "There was a problem completing your request. Please reload the page and try again."
So, I reload the page, and try to digg the article, or try to digg some comment up or down. Then, this happens:


After about a dozen reloads, I am finally able to digg a single comment. But once I try to digg another: "There was a problem completing your request. Please reload the page and try again."

And so the cycle begins anew.

Is it because I'm using Safari 3.1? (I get the same error messages in Firefox.) Is it because I have multiple tabs open with different Digg pages? Is it because Macs suck? Is it because Digg is inherently broken?

I tried to submit this blog post to Digg, and got:

This was later resolved by submitting in Firefox.

I love Digg, but constantly getting error messages when I actually try to use the site makes me wonder if I should start shopping around for an alternative social news service.

Any suggestions?
