Bad link with the text “This is the title of a typical incendiary blog post” (should be pointing at http://faultline.org/site/item/incendiary/). Also, it’s REALLY SLOW to load (or times out entirely) – the site might be overwhelmed by traffic resulting from a FtB bump.

No…THIS is hi-fucking-larious.
