I have been having problems all day long getting on here.

I, too have been having intermittent difficulty accessing FreeRepublic today . . . & a similar issue with Twitter's Breaking News Feed. With Twitter, I can open the page but it is frozen on a page leading with

NATO service member killed by roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan - Reuters less than 5 seconds ago via breakingnews.com

That "less than 5 seconds ago" tweet has been headlining since early this morning. I also cannot access WeaselZippers since last week when they were making adjustments to the site. I get a 403 Forbidden error. Not being computer savvy, I cannot tell if it's something on my end.
