We're still without electricity and the snow is flying up here at BSMW Headquarters, but that's not going to stop the morning links today...

Patriots Keep Pace
After the New England Patriots put yesterday's game out of reach scoring TDs on their first three possessions, didn't you sympathize for all those die-hard fans in rainy Oakland Coliseum? Me neither.

It's been a busy week here, with the hack plus a bunch of other stuff going on, so I apologize in advance for the irregular updates.

…and we’re back…
For the moment anyway. It appears that someone hacked into the database that runs the site and changed some passwords, and corrupted some data. I think most of these issues have been resolved, but usually these things come in waves, so I wouldn't be surprised to see more downtime...if that's the case, please keep checking back.
Escape From Qwest
Things weren't looking so good for the Patriots yesterday, their playoff hopes tottered as they trailed the lowly Seattle Seahawks for most of the afternoon.
