Ky State workers blocked from blog

Who's Sorry Now?
Is our free speech and access to information in jeopardy? Attempts to block people from information is very interesting....turns out folks always find a way.
In this case, state workers are being blocked from a site - while at work, we'll add - that "officials" (who?) don't want them to have access to here:
The blocked Web sites include entertainment and humor sites, online auctions and blogs, but Mark Nickolas, operator of http://www.bluegrassreport.org, said he believes his site was targeted for its political content.
"It's outrageous; it shows that we are in the People's Republic of Kentucky now — that government will block political speech that it does not approve of," Nickolas said.
