House.Gov monitors this blog on taxpayer dime

During the time I can't get a straight answer on why McNicoll would omit and distort facts to protect Tom Davis, I couldn't help but notice that this blog is getting hits from house.gov. Although one hit is barely after 5 at 5:00:03 pm, the rest are after 9 and before 5 pm.

Here are five of the hits on screenshots - sorry for the resolution. I am no expert in graphics. There is a House.gov hit May 8 at 4:56, 4:42, 3:10 and 2:07.

I've had the same thing happen. I was writing about how unresponsive my reps are. Staffers definately read my blog, but didn't have the decency to respond.

Not a Loyal Bushie?

McNicoll worked for the Heritage Foundation, wrote for its TownHall column, and believes in "Intelligent Design." I guess he didn't investigate anything during the Tom Davis years on the Oversight Committee because he wouldn't know a fact if it dropped on his desk labeled "Exhibit #1."

Meanwhile, he's still pissed that after issuing over 1,000 subpoenas on Clinton's use of the White House Christmas Card list cost taxpayers millions and couldn't even trump up a charge: GOP Threatens To Extend E-Mail Probe Back To Clinton Era Roll Call reports, "As Democrats gear up for a broad investigation of Republican e-mail accounts, GOP staff warn that the issue could come back to haunt Democrats, as the minority is looking for ways to extend the issue into Democratic e-mails as well. The revelation that top White House officials, including Karl Rove, may have conducted official government business over Republican National Committee e-mail accounts has launched a broad series of inquiries among Democrats trying to get their hands on some of these messages." Brian McNicoll, a spokesman for Oversight and Government Reform Committee Republicans, "warned that if Democrats want to broadly investigate the use of party e-mail accounts by administration officials, Republicans could extend this investigation back to the end of the Clinton administration as well."

I just moved here from NC where I post on three progressive blogs that are regularly visited by house.gov.

One day when I wrote a particularly nasty comment that I eventually edited, staffers stayed on line for one and two hours at a time. I finally figured out they had been getting "alerts" on my posts and were looking (in vain) for the original! What a waste of time. They never seem to address my concerns. On one site they use three identities, two of whom get somewhat nasty. It's stupid.

BTW, the hits that have zero time are from when they have a search engine checking you out and emailing them an "alert."
