Dear Readers,
Today is a very hot day for political ads everywhere, and we are seeing a lot of groups trying to place them through our Google Ad Network, which is self service. While we respect the political viewpoints of others and have our own, we do not believe in supporting political ads on our sites, and have been working hard to keep up with the Google ad buys and block those that are political in any way...
We have not been 100% successful, so you may have seen and may still see some political ads, particularly in California and in other hotbed states. This does not mean that we are supporting them, or even know about them yet. We are continuing to monitor our Google account and thanks for all your emails alerting us to the fact.
Best, Maxwell

Like that Yes on Prop 8 ad that keeps popping up, and there it is again. Nice blocking there.

That ad looks like it's advocating forcing Palin and Biden to marry each other. I certainly can't support that.

I haven't seen any here - so your efforts are working in Michigan. Thanks! I can't wait until all the yard signs have to be taken down and I'm not bombarded with ads.

I installed an ad blocker years ago specifically for the purpose of not wanting to see homophobic hate speech ads or ads promoting dieting. Works great.
