Republican Recycling
by David Harsanyi on September 6, 2008
*** begin quote ***
This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Hoot! Talk about your gun, your bullet, and your foot. Actions speak louder than words.

Sarah Palin: it’s go west, towards the future of conservatism
Her thrilling convention speech showed that the Governor of Alaska is a force to reckoned with. But she might be more than that
Gerard Baker

*** begin quote ***

First of all she offers an opportunity for an ailing Republican party to reconnect with ordinary Americans. She’s conservative, but her conservatism is not that of the intolerant, uncomprehending white male sort that has so hurt the party in recent years. She is much closer to a model of the lives of ordinary Americans – working mother, plainspoken everywoman juggling home and office – than any Republican leader in memory.

*** end quote ***

I correctly forecast her selection. As first among three women back on March 3rd, I hedged my bet. The R’s just HAD to pick a woman.

BUTT, and there is always a big but!

I missed an even bigger thing that she brought to the ticket, fund raising power!

Money!

The root of all evil is the mother’s milk of any political campaign!

TECHNOLOGY: WPDC, Why don’t tags operate like categories?

Saturday, September 6, 2008

WPDC is the free, and unequaled, wordpressdotcom (and did I mention free!!!)

Yeah, I know “beggars and choosers”, but …

It would be nice if on the creation screen tags, like categories, could “suggest” the most frequently used ones, or show a list of all current ones to choose from.

The free, and unequaled, wordpressdotcom is still my favorite; even if it doesn’t work the way I’d see it work.
