links to other similar reports.

General reports of suppression by the administration

Censor the Big Bang

In general we are seeing the expected willfull ignorance of the True Believers. IMHO this is yet another indication of why no one who holds a Young Earth belief should ever be allowed to hold a position of authority in government.

Not wanting to derail things totally...

Maybe there was a DoS attack; maybe the site was temporarily down; maybe a router was down. I was able to access it later.

At the top of his post he put a message that read something along the lines of

"This article was directly linked by a number of websites which caused too much load. The page was dynamic which was adding to the strain, I have now made the page static to reduce load. I have also disabled comments. I will check back in a few horus [amusing sic]"

They were the victim of the worst kind of DoS:

They got slashdotted

Mr. Deutsch has left the building.

Apparently the political fallout from his actions has forced him to resign.

HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- A NASA political appointee who worked in the space agency's public relations department submitted his resignation after reportedly restricting access to a noted NASA climate scientist.

NASA spokesman Dean Acosta confirmed Wednesday that George C. Deutsch had resigned late Tuesday, but would say little more. Deutsch, 24, was appointed in February 2005.
