Thanks, Michael. I'm glad to have that cleared up.

DC, the way to tell if it's time yet to talk about sane firearms control legislation is very simple. Look at the calendar. Look at the day of the week. Does it end in "y"? If so, it's not yet time.

There's been another mass shooting, this time in Wisconsin.

It is time yet to talk about sane firearms control legislation? Just wondering.

DrFunguy,
It seems to be related to the inclusion of images in people’s comments. Apparently, the caluclations the theme uses to determine the size of the comment section doesn’t take into account the image sizes. That’s a pretty deep bug for me to fix before the election, given my time constraints. It’s not a Disqus thing (though that plugin sure causes its own set of issues).

Michael

I am getting very inconsistent loading of the pages, both in IE and Chrome. Often on longer threads it doesn't load the final page and often I can't scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to the comment window... FYII suspect that this is related to going back and forth between the Discus comment you use during high traffic times.And thanks for your work on the site!

Kathleen Parker mentions that the 'binders full of women' were provided by others, not at Romney's instigation as he claimed, without calling out his lie. The failure of the media to call out politicians when they lie is an enabling feature of today's political disfunctionality.

Hey, DC, today I got a call from some polling outfit. I was busy, so I told them I would not participate. The person doing the poll had clearly had a lot of responses like that, from the audible sound of resignation in her voice.
So they're still polling in Minnesota, and they obviously are not polling the Senate or House races -- not in my district.

Hey PWS–

Long time no read. Good to have you stop by. Btw, are you related to PNE? Using initials can make things confusing. Maybe try pwsact?
I’d love to see you find a Democrat who wants to legalize abortions at nine months.
I’ll bet its pretty easy. Anyway, you can structure the question anyway you want. The point is to find what the most extreme elements in the party believe.…and then question the candidate so as to accuse them of holding the same belief and also foster infighting.

But maybe my wish came true?
