Simple tech issues, or something more?
BlueFlorida posted an IP address you can use to access it directly. Here is that address --> DailyKos. You won't be able to login with this address.
Kos is aware of the problem.
i hope this gives markos and all good libs an incentive to move their domain registration AWAY from godaddy. not only are they assholes, but they are big time GOP donors, and their business practises suck! if my employer just started randomly locking domains without notifying our customers first, we would be out of business. this is bullshit. i hope markos also sues godaddy for lost income.

Do a search for hosts, open with notepad, go to the end of the last line, hit enter and paste the line above. Make sure the file is saved as hosts only not hosts.txt or hosts.sam
This will let you use dKos normally until the DNS issue is resolved.
Right click on the 'Start' button and select search, change 'look in' to local disk, enter 'hosts' for the file name and hit search. You should see hosts in the results. Double click on the file and choose 'Select program from a list' when prompted. Select Notepad from the list of programs and hit 'OK'. Move your cursor to the end of the last line and hit enter. Paste the following into the line(ctrl + v):
Then save and close the file. You should remove the line above after a couple of days.
Hope this helps.

it's neither your advice nor anything like that -- it's me -- i am just not getting it, so i'll beg down now since your counsel is working elsewhere and even did for me up to the point of saving the file. i was able to use the search ting and get the wordpad to open and change, just not save it the way you instructed and i am afraid of botching up the PC. thanks tho.
Domain Name: DAILYKOS.COM Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC. Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com Name Server: NS2.VOXEL.NET Name Server: NS.VOXEL.NET Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK Updated Date: 02-feb-2005 Creation Date: 26-jun-2002 Expiration Date: 26-jun-2005
basically, that means that godaddy (which is an EVIL RED-DONATING repub company) has fucked him. according to his registration the domain isn't supposed to expire until june of this year. there is no legitimate reason for him to be down right now.
you can access dailykos by going directly to the IP address. just type this in your browser: http://69.9.161.200/
