I think Iraq is still occasionally mentioned in the media, but I get my news from international sites, so maybe not “officially.”

This close to elections, I cannot help entertaining conspiracy theories. I doubt that’s the cause, but I can’t rule it out. Would the nuts shut down friendly sites in the interest of shutting down hostiles? You must answer that for yourself. Could the wingers competently shut down the ‘sphere if they wanted to? Well, that’s another question, and I can’t answer that one either.
Or maybe it’s that agency I wrote doggerel about, the one for which “no one knows its acronym…”
