RICKROLLED.
In hilarious/disturbing news, TAP has been hacked by Rick Astley (or one of his many devoted fans), and now, if you click on certain articles, like Greg Anrig's piece on conservatism (accessible on my sidebar), you get rickrolled. So first, I'm warning you that this happens, and DEFINITELY NOT suggesting you might want to try it for kicks (but I am implying that). If it's happening on other articles though, let me know in this comment thread.
Ed. Note: Sorry to stop the fun kids, but I made the article inactive. If you find other affected articles, drop me a line.

Man, if this starts happening to all of my articles and posts, I'll feel like I've descended into hell. For the moment, I'll take it as a compliment that right-wingers care enough to hate me.

It happened to me on the seven awesome things that Hillary brought to the democratic primary season article. Rick Astley just had to overwhelm the awesomeness. I managed to go back and read it by stopping my browser after it loaded the content, but before the comments.

I recognize a lot of the words as English, but it's almost like you're speaking some completely different language.

Greg, yesterday I sent an email about this to the editors. I really liked the article a lot. It crystalized some thoughts that had been floating around in my head. (It also started a long IM debate with my conservative friend, who after reading the first 3 paragraphs dismissed it as liberal hokum, because government is always bad.) I sent the link to 2 other friends and one of them told me that if I ever sent him another thing like the Rickroll he would stop clicking my links.
P.S. Went out and bought your book. I'm reading it now.
P.P.S. TAP shouldn't feel bad. As I write this Amazon.com is down.

Heh, this is great. But hacked? Sounds just a wee bit suspicious. Do the residents of the flophouse have alibis?

Oh, it's been hacked.
I just though Greg Anrig was never going to give me up.

Mitch, Awesome, thanks!
Sangfroid826, Nor will I say goodbye, though I might make you cry.
