A friend of mine in China tells me that the “Great Firewall of China” appears to be blocking my blog. She can’t access it in Beijing.

I was just about to uncork some champagne at this honor–one of the highest accolades for writers in the free world–and was ruminating on which of my clearly insurrectionist blog posts might have deserved this compliment.

Alas, my friend now thinks that the Party (always such a party!) might be “batch-blocking” all WordPress blogs (but not Blogger for some reason) right now. What a bummer. I want them to ban me.

Anybody know the details?
