The fascist still got the Senate, but we got USA.... so Yesterday: usatoday.com "The USAToday web site is currently unavailable. Service to the site will be restored as soon as possible." Drudge reports outage: drudgereport.com XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU JUL 11, 2002 23:32:38 ET XXXXX 'USA TODAY' WEBSITE HACKED; PRANKSTERS MOCK BUSH, CHRISTIANITY The USA TODAY newspaper's website was broken into late Thursday evening by hackers who put up a series of stories blasting George Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Christianity.

There was a constant flow of customers buying everything. Headlines 'Opps says the Pope; Christianity a Sham!' and 'Donald Rumsfeld: An American Beauty?' also linked to mock articles. The Rumsfeld article alleged that the Secretary of Defense is homosexual. As of 11 pm EDT USA TODAY could no longer be accessed by the public. Developing...
