Wikileaks Roundup: quick and dirty edition

The Swedes appeal to keep Assange in jail, Anonymous knocks the legs out of the Swedish prosecutor's site. And the antelope eat the grass.

The Swedes contest the bail hearing at 11:30am tomorrow London time.

Mark Zuckerberg (who Greg Mitchell at the Nation calls "the boy named 'sue'") wins TIME person of the year. Assange gets 3rd after the Tea Partiers. Lame that blowhards beat worldwide sociopolitical upheaval.

There's a highly suspicious, days-long-lack of Cable-talk from the New York Times. And the Guardian's Liveblog is down today! I am slain and puzzled.

Rush Limbaugh keeps it classy, attacking Michael Moore as a "fan of serial rapists". This whole discourse just gets more and more intelligent.

AT&T and Verizon are taking the US Air Force tactic and blocking all sites carrying wikileaks-related materials--ANY wikileaks-related materials. That poster from Anonymous sounds like a really awesome idea right about now...and I apologize if reading this blog is now making you uncomfortable. 
Oh democracy. Wtf is happening to you.
