DISQUS

A couple of more problems with TextMate:

1. Primitive undo. This editor was out for a couple of years already and this issue is not fixed yet.

2. Jump history. I want to browse my code and come back where I left editing with one keystroke. That makes ctags bundle completely useless.

3. Mac specific and not open sourced. I can’t imagine how you can become a master of your editor if you can’t change it and compile your customized version.

I like you better than Michael Barone. And I have your phone number.

I want a new toaster.

We're talking about this on my blog, too. What else could be done here? And as we discussed earlier, there is an accountability mechanism here.

I think spending is the real reason to elect McCain. He's going to put our money where his mouth is.

I read the Mike Graham piece yesterday while commuting back and forth between the bedroom and bathroom. Good stuff. The Graham piece, I mean.

Sure, why not wait another ten years to start utilizing our own natural resources? That way we can be energy independent in 20 years, not 10.

JollyRoger certainly is 'progressive.'

Had Clinton drilled ANWR in '94, '95, we sure as hell wouldn't be paying $5.00 at the pump today.

The idea that Bush has been 'a miserable failure on national security' is ridiculous. No terror attacks since 9/11/01. Bush is batting 1000%. Hard to do much better.

He's not wrong. He's being consistent. He pledged to run a respectful campaign, which he continues to do. Had he not disavoved this ad he would have been criticized for not doing so.

The genius of McCain's move is that (1) he's called attention to the ad, which has resulted in a huge financial windfall to the NC GOP and (2) he continues to win approval from moderates and independents, which will be key in winning the general election in November.

We're not worried. Obama's lacking resume, ridiculously incomplete policy proposals and questionable associations make him the latest sacrificial lamb nominee. He 's not going to win.

I loved hearing him tell the whopping lie about not raising taxes on anyone making under $200K? Huh?

Inquiring minds are going to ask, 'How the hell is he going to pay for all those social programs and health care'?

What a Democrat!

A serious contender for the Presidency gets schooled on taxes by Charlie Gibson? Priceless.

"Gee, Barack, everybody knows the positive benefits of lowering cap gains. Except you."

The Democrats are the incompetents. And I see Chris has truly lost his mind. Latest example: "Bush was outdebated in '00 and '04'?

What debates were you watching? Dubya destroyed Gore by being himself and he sat back and watched Kerry destroy himself with his absurd globalist rhetoric.

This was a very revealing statement. For a lot of people this was the first authentic thing to come out of his mouth.

He's looking more and more like the latest sacrificial lamb for the Democrats.

Viva President McCain!

This is shaping up to be a McCain year. I bet he has coattails, too.

I misspoke in my comment above regarding Obama's grandmother. According to the always reliable James Taranto from the WSJ, she is still alive.

Here I am over here, standing corrected.

Jesus was Jewish. No parsing, no shades of gray.

... But he's smart enough to see the big picture. Winning with a guy you might have some disagreements with is always better than allowing the Democrats to win in absentia.

Wow, Lisa. Get some comments on your blog, baby.

I don't think BO did himself any favors today. I'm sure it looked great on paper, and he delivered it with typical aplomb. But he ain't offering change anymore. In fact, he's kinda hopeless at the moment and we've learned that he has extraordinarily bad judgment in picking churches and friends.

Time to play the race card. And I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to hear about how racist America is (and by extension, Republicans) from now until November. Won't that be fun? Won't that bring the country together?

Here's my problem: I've never attended a church where I didn't agree with the pastor. And I wouldn't attend a church where I didn't share the same theology. Call me crazy, but I think going to a church makes absolutely no sense whatsoever if you disagree with what's being said from the pulpit. I mean, what's the point in that? If you're there for the right reasons, it makes no sense.

BO clearly is close to Wright. But that closeness makes me believe that he might also share Wright's views and his statements today and last week don't change that opinion. It certainly appears that Michelle Obama shares at least some of Wright's views of America. It certainly wasn't mere coincidence that she said what she said about 'not being proud of America' a few weeks ago. And "The Audacity of Hope," comes straight from one of Wright's 'sermons.'

I've attended a black church in LA several times with my buddy Harlan and I can tell you that the services are long and exhaustive and emotional and moving and high powered. But they have never been profane. The pastor -- Brother Michael -- wouldn't dream of saying 'God Damn America.' He loves America and he loves God. He also knows Jesus wasn't black. Jesus was a Jew. He was white. What kind of idiot says Jesus was black? What kind of idiot would believe it? I've seen the clips on cable the past week, and apparently, a group of people, at Barack Obama's church, do.

Liberals blow a freaking gasket whenever a GOP candidate gives a speech @ Bob Jones University. They cry 'church-and-state, church-and-state' whenever President Bush speaks of his faith, but they don't give two craps that the likely 'Democratic' (unless you live in Florida or Michigan) nominee for President might be just as nutty as a Mormon. Or, as much of an opportunist as Mitt Romney, take your pick.

Now, depending on your perspective, you might really admire BO for not throwing Wright under the bus, as they say. But I wonder... why did he throw his dead white grandmother under the bus? BO can't remember what services he attended and what services he didn't attend the past 20 years at Trinity United, but he remembers with great clarity being offended by racial things his grandmother said when he was a boy?

And this guy wants to be the President of the United States?

I've having the best time watching the Dems make complete election 2008 fools of themselves.

If leadership truly does come 'from the top,' as the adage goes, then I have two words for you:

Howard Dean.

Chris regularly gets his head handed to him on RFL. Just kiddin' Buddy.

I think the question that should be asked is why do the Democrats talk down the economy every two and four years?

Why should we believe them on the economy anyway? They've been telling us things have been bad since '03, contrary to reality. They've fought the tax cuts, which means they have a fundamental misunderstanding of simple economic principles.

Trusting Democrats on the economy is as foolhearty as trusting them on national security. They are demagogues, hypocrites of the first order. They are sloganeers, nothing more.

And for all the hand wringing over out-of-control spending, electing a President Clinton or a President Obama assures that spending will be bumped up another 1000%, with all the health care crap and all the bleeding heart Liberal social programs.

Not sure it's over.

Fast Eddie Rendell is saying she'll prevail in PA.

I bet she wins Ohio, too.

All my workshop buddies are livid about Nader.

the only holes in my soles will be those of my worn shoes. with barack as president, i won't be able to afford to buy new ones.

I like Barack, too. I consider him a pragmatist. His health care plan isn't mandatory. He's a partisan, but not a hater.

As a Premier League fan in the states, I would love to see some of these teams play without having to go overseas, but I think the main issue with the proposal is the extra game. Does this mean that some teams would play each other three times a year instead of two? So one team gets a relegation bound team three times and another gets one of the big clubs three times a year. This would have huge a effect on the all the teams.

I think Fred really let us all down. I have a very different -- a lower -- opinion of him now.

Not only does he speak, uh, uh, uh, slowly and haltingly, he acts and moves that way, too.

Why did he even bother getting into the race at all?

How about a Kent/Fred ticket? A Kent/Mitt ticket?

Hillary is a loser...she's got negatives above 50% and I don't know a single Liberal woman who is planning to vote for her.

What is this? Chris actually making some good points? Wow. I should put some more Jack into my eggnog.

The truth about Reagan is that he was a strong leader. He was a steadfast believer in America. He was decisive. All the things that Jimmy Carter wasn't.

Reagan filled the chasm of leadership left by the shame on Richard Nixon.
