Poor Sad C-SPAN

This morning, I am mourning the loss of a friend. The first time I typed this, a URL I love so dearly, and got an unfriendly "Server Not Found" prompt from Firefox, I assumed I must have made a typo. I - calmly, patiently, almost lovingly - retyped and refreshed, waiting happily for the C-SPAN 2 "Watch" link to load, with it's friendly little Windows Media Player logo, but none came.

No, ladies and gent's, C-SPAN is down.

C-SPAN is down, the Senate is in session and I am not watching. It must be a very cold day in hell.
