Blocked again

Looks like Uncle Sam's access to the Blogger page is once again blocked.
Here is what it gives me each time I try to log on.
.
"In accordance with MNF-I Memo 11.1, Annex F.12: The internet will not
be used to access unauthorized web pages (i.e. pornographic, gambling,
extremist, or racist websites). Playing games, conducting personal
business for financial gain, using any chat services (i.e. Yahoo/MS/AOL
Messenger, MIRC, AKO Chat, etc.) or using streaming audio/video are not
authorized."
.
What's up with that? As far as I know, there is no porn, gambling,
extremism or racism on Blogger. I also can't play games, make money,
chat or use streaming video/audio on Blogger. It's not like I'm sitting
here all day trying to update my blog or anything. For the most part, I
type the things at night on my personal laptop and bring it into work to
upload before I even start work.
.
Just one more way fort "the man" to keep me down. I guess it's back to
the "email your blog in" method, which sucks because you can't put
pictures or edit what you type after you send it in. It's all good
though. I hope to get different access in the near future if they ever
move me to a permanent hooch. Rumor mill says that they will bring in
wireless access for a small fee. We'll see how that goes.
.
Interesting fact of the day: I hate silly firewalls that blog
everything with the word "blog" in it.
