Some of you might have noticed that Political Irony has been slow lately, and even been unavailable on and off. Yesterday I found some exploit code that had been hacked into the site and removed it, but it still isn’t behaving well. It has been almost a year since I rebuilt the site from scratch, […]
Last night, someone hacked my website and destroyed the WordPress database. Luckily, I had a backup that was less than 24 hours old. I restored the database from the backup. While I did not lose any of my posts, unfortunately, any comments made yesterday were likely lost forever. Feel free to repost your comments if […]
I’m traveling again for a few weeks, and Internet service is a bit spotty, so I’ll post when I can. Feel free to send me good stories to post — leave them in the comments, so others can see them!
The number of comments has fallen off dramatically since I installed some new anti-spam software, and I just got an email from someone saying they were unable to leave a comment. I’ve disabled the new software for now. Please let me know if you have any problems with the site.
I’m testing out a fancy new anti-spam, caching mechanism that is supposed to speed things up for regular visitors, while making things much more difficult for spammers and other “evil doers”. Unfortunately, things can always go wrong, so if you have any problems with the site, please let me know — either leave a comment […]
There seems to be a bug that makes any comments sometimes appear, and sometimes not appear. I’m not having much luck tracking down the bug. Might be some kind of caching bug. My apologies. It does seem that if you are logged on to the site, you will see the comments, and if you are […]
My inaugural post to this blog was two years ago today. At the time I had no idea it would become so popular, and figured that readership would drop after the presidential elections. Ironically, the readership actually took off shortly after the election. I hope you enjoy a little humor with your politics. Thanks to […]
As I mentioned, I’m away for a week (partly work and partly fun). Internet access might be spotty, so I might not be able to post as much as I usually do.
I have to apologize. Something has gone wonky with my commenting system and ALL comments are being labeled as spam. I’m trying to fix the problem, but meanwhile my only option is to manually go through my spam queue and save non-spam comments. But this means that your comments will not appear immediately. Unfortunately, turning […]
I’m starting the process of moving Political Irony to a new host. Depending on how things go, this should happen in the next few days to a week. The new server will have much greater capacity, so things should run smoother (it’s tough running a popular blog!). When I do the actual switchover, Political Irony […]
[In case you are wondering — I’m continuing to post new stories, they appear after this one.] When I first started this site, I never expected it to become so popular. In fact, I thought people would lose interest after the election, but instead readership has kept going up (and up!) I list total visitors […]
I’m on vacation for a few weeks. I will try to post a few stories while I’m away — they will appear after this post (I made it sticky so it will stay at the top). While I’m gone, please visit the many fine and funny websites listed under LINKS (down and to the right […]
By request, I have added a discussion forum so you can chatter amongst yourselves. It is a Google Group found at http://groups.google.com/group/politicalirony There is also a link (FORUM) in the sidebar. The forum is for friendly political discussions. Extra points for humor. Demerits for hypocrisy. Liberals, Conservatives, Marxists, Libertarians, Religious, Atheists, or whatever, you are […]
I’m going to be camping for the next week, so my access to the innertubes might be a bit erratic (but I managed to post three stories a day last summer when I went camping in the wilds of Canada, so who knows). I’ve noticed lately that people have been submitting old postings of mine […]
So I was on vacation for the last three weeks; so far out of the country that I had no internet access. Just got back today, catching up on the political news, and it looks like absolutely nothing has changed. Minnesota still has only one senator. Wall Street is still taking advantage of anything they […]
