A new poll shows Kerry leading among exhibitionists.
Tom Daschle’s attorney was physically removed from court today in South Dakota. Sheriff’s deputies had to remove him when a judge refused to hear a motion. Daschle is freaking out because he may lose to Thune. No matter what happens in the presidential race, I’d love to see SD dump that hack Daschle.
Senate Democrats should have dumped him as their leader two years ago.

From a California Republican Party Newsletter (read today, email’s dated yesterday…sorry):
November 1, 2004
California GOP Campaign Offices Vandalized
Placer County Republican Headquarters were burglarized over the weekend. A dozen cell phones, lap top computers, a digital camera and computer equipment intended for GOTV.
The break-in certainly appears politically motivated given the fact that burglars left behind a television and donation jar with $200 cash. The intent of this criminal act is currently being investigated by law enforcement.
Ken Campbell, Chairman of the Placer County Republican Central Committee, told an Associated Press reporter,
McGhee: the “URL button” is that last of the four small buttons beneath the “Post a comment” box (area where comments are written before you select “Preview” and/or “Post” buttons — the “URL” button is just above “Preview” and “Post” but beneath the comments box).
You select that URL button and it provides a secondary window…follow the directions…or just type the code into your text to create a hyperlink:
LeftArrow http://“ your code goes here ” RightArrow YOUR DISPLAYED CODE TEXT GOES HERE ForwardSlash LeftArrow
Rather (in case you don’t know how to create an active hyperlink or someone else doesn’t):
Type this:
<a href=”http://yourFullURLgoeshere”>Write here whatever you want in text that displays a hyperlink here></a>
GOOD NEWS!!!
I was watching the news in Romania, and they are calling Ohio, Florida, AND Pennsylvania for Bush!! As you know, Romania is 6 hrs in the future compared to the east coast, so our election is already over for them (it’s almost midnight over there).
Kerry campaign person (Laura Tyson) just said on FOX that “those millionaires, making over two hundred thousdand dollars a year, they’re millionaires, they can afford to have some of that taken back to pay down the deficit, to pay for healthcare for the American people…”
blaaahhhhblahahhahblahh. She says that “those people” “profited under Clinton” and can “afford” to “return some of that” so that….Kerry can tax them higher.
Kerry’s actually going to raise taxes on anyone earning more than $79,000. a year…”spokesperson” is just blatantly lying, much less selling a bitter pill.
Wait…if they’re “in our future,” so to speak, Kevin, then the polls are already closed, people have already voted, even those on our mainland who haven’t even left home for the polling places yest? I’m confused.
McGhee: the “URL button” is that last of the four small buttons beneath the “Post a comment” box
Still don’t see it. I see “Cancel”, “Preview” and “Post” but no “URL”.
No biggie — if I want to post a link I just write the code myself anyway.
– S – for reasons that no one I know has ever been able to explain completely, code simply does not display the same on everyones rig…..In fact my blogger compiler editor shows three distinct different screens from time to time…Without a lot of tech doubletalk its entirely possible that McGehee doesn’t see the buttons…Either that or he’s quafed to many marquarita’s already…..
Project Longface is ending its long day
Hunter: I blame Wil Wheaton…him and the Borg. Oh, Kerry, too. HE’s rewritten the internets to such an extent that there’s no way of ever getting it to display things correctly, ever again.
Ooops, sorrry, was experiencing one of my “I Am A Liberal” moments. Sorry.
~;-D
I can’t post this…I’m experiencing “too many connections”(!!).
Dear -S- and everybody – THANK YOU for finally bringing up the “how to URL” thing – I was too shy to ask before, being a novice commenter since CBSgate. I thought that 3rd box under Name, Email Address, URL was meant for people who have their own sites, as some sort of ID. I, too, don’t see any other URL link tool lower down. I would LOVE to make my references clickable, just haven’t known how! I’d even like to go back into archives and change all my past references to the proper code.
And by the way, Kevin, now that I’ve overcome my “unwelcome guest” feeling, what on earth is “pimping links”? (I thought I was being polite to reference data sources and to prevent plagiarism); and what are “essays” for which one can be banned from your site? Is there a length limit to commenting? Sometimes, it just can’t be said in a sentence, although there are some great one-liners at wizbang!
… and -S-
