Okay, we admit it. A good number of our stories do come bubbling up from Digg (but we do use other aggregates and our own resources, we promise!) Now you can imagine our shock when this Digg censorship story popped up…a lurid tale of a shadowy group called the Digg Patriots who banded together to bury left-leaning articles and promote right-wing stories.

May all your crab pots be full of the best king crabs up in that great sea in the sky….
