problems with google analytics.

I get this crap all the bleeping time....

The connection has timed out
The server at www.google-analytics.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

and since google analytics seems to be embedded in every site I go to now...

it really screws with me. Now I'm even having problems logging into youtube because they have connected themselves to google authentication. I'm almost to the point now to where I want to block it out with squid or junkbuster... and be done with google altogether.
