Our RSS Feed Is Working Again

D&S Admin Mar 16, 2009

To blog subscribers: You may have noticed that our feed was down this weekend (starting at around 2pm on Friday). It's back up. It was a problem with Google/Blogger; apparently lots of other blogs had the same problem.

Mar 15 AIG Head Insists On Giving Millions In Bonuses

Mar 13 Pity the Overtaxed Rich

Mar 13 Can Marijuana Rescue the Cali Economy?

Mar 13 Auto Supplier and Six Flags Going Down

Not a ton of posts. To be honest, I took the downed RSS feed as an excuse to relax a little over the weekend. There will be more today, though.
