Site outages due to “Nuestro Himno” post

Dear VL readers, some of you may be experiencing inability to view the site today due to the fact that the overwhelming traffic to the “Nuestro Himno” piece we posted last week. VL has never seen this type of traffic and it’s been too much for our host — we’ve been crashing on and off all day.
This issue seems to be striking a chord with immigrant rights supporters and the opposition alike. Pretty amazing that something that amounts to a translation of a song is stirring up this much controversy. The Bible, considered by many as a “sacred” document has been translated into thousands of languages but I don’t see that as such a cause for concern. What’s going on?
Bush Can’t Speak It Too Well but He Wants Anthem Sung in English.

Speaking English poorly certainly hasn’t stopped President Bush from being in power but he’s insisting that people who want to be citizens learn the language and of course sing the national anthem as it was written. In the White House Rose Garden during a question and answer session President Bush said:
I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English.
Of course all this in response to today’s release of Nuestro Himno
