I just tried it again, and it does for me. What about if you copy and paste it explicitly?

I don't know what to tell you -- I just tried it again, twice, with a super-refresh and with a different browser (to be extra sure I wasn't just re-displaying a cached version), and I don't have any problem getting to it. Maybe your ISP is blocking the site or something? What sort of error do you get?

Anyway, since the whole point was just to see the title, here it is:

"Wilder real comedian please Geert out of our country?"

By now, I'm sure you're too irritated to laugh, but I thought it was funny when I first saw it.; 5:04 PM, February 13, 2009

On Wilders - your inclination to let him speak is probably correct. OK, what he says may have been objectionable to many people, and may have led to some fairly angry demonstrations, but NOT letting him speak was a spectacular own-goal by a government which is regularly accused of Big Brotherism and "political correctness gone mad".

In any case, you only had to look at the guy; he was quite capable of rendering his own arguments ridiculous by means of that astonishing hairdo.; 4:52 PM, February 24, 2009
