Homeland Security is monitoring this blog

I am not making this up. A little while ago, someone from the Department of Homeland Security visited this blog. First, they landed on “I’m voting Republican.” Golly, they must have been in for a surprise. Me voting Republican? Not so much!

Then this visitor proceeded to visit other pages, and I believe they have subscribed to my feed. So I consider myself to be officially monitored. If I disappear, please check in Cuba and sundry Eastern European countries to see if I’m there.

It’s amazing to notice the difference in visitors once you start writing about politics. Imagine if I were to weigh in with my thoughts on the “War on Terror” or something.

    Ok, how do you know this? I mean, how do you know for sure that it was someone from Homeland Security?

    I can see the hostnames of all the machines that visit. There was a visitor form dhs.gov.

    Congratulations Scott!

    You have merited official dhs.gov notice. Keep up the good work!

    No doubt Stand Firm provided Homeland Security with a list of left wing, subversive web sites on which you merit a place of importance.

    Oh, but surely if this were real Homeland Security (Gawd, I hate that name, but at least they didn’t pick Mother America or Fatherland Security) business they would have been careful to visit from a computer that didn’t give the hostname as DHS. Maybe this is some crypto-sane person at DHS visiting your blog on her lunch hour.

    Wow, first banned by Gafcon, now monitored by homeland security…

    …on the other hand, maybe someone at Homeland Security is just a fan of George Herbert!? Or, maybe some of them are Christian…or, maybe the terror threat is so low they are just bored.

    Hmmm, pretty interesting.
