US Senate Flips Dome

Is 'freedom borscht' the next?


Get It

Try It

EVERYWHERE (Rixstep) — Those amis are losing their ish again. As discovered by WikiLeaks earlier today, someone accessing the InterWebs from within the US Senate IP range attempted to vandalise the Wikipedia page on Edward Snowden.



One word was changed.

Of course the page change didn't go online, as the page is protected, but still and all: the idiocy of the clueless generation in not knowing their IPs would be recorded. A 'defining moment'.

156.33.241.5

Of course the IP - 156.33.241.5 - leads right into the inner sanctums of the US government, right to the US Senate where constitutional lawyer Barack Hussein Obama used to reign supreme.

Stupidity should be painful.
