Last Saturday, November 26, 2011, this site was hacked by Kurds.  That’s right, Kurds. Now I’ve always been what you might call agnostic about the Kurds, but after this, well, you can just imagine.

Brenda and I were at the Newseum in D.C. with the Rathes and Leslie when Erin called to say that Sussmans.com was flying the Kurdish flag.  When we got home I contacted my web host to report the hack.  They checked the site and said that the whole thing was radioactive with viruses and malware.  All they could do was wipe the server’s hard drive and give me a new, empty website.  It’s going to take many weeks to get things back, but that only makes sense since I’ve been annoying folks with this website since 1996. Problem is that all of your beautiful posts and comments are now lost…like tears…in the rain…[Blade Runner reference]

UPDATE:  Hey!  I found a backup of part of the site.  I think I can restore most of the posts and comments!
