New Disqus Comments plugin
In a nutshell I want people to be able to leave comments without me having to "approve" them - they appear immediately. But I also want to keep out spam. The anti-spam module for some reason was marking all comments - including my own - as spam. I have since added the Disqus plugin which hopefully will allow anyone with a free Disqus account to be able to leave comments that appear immediately. So far it appears to be working nicely.February 2012 S M T W T F S « Jul 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 -

Cars houses and life itself (or) Bad arguments in defense of the health care bill
Like an idiot had the car audio set to “radio” rather than “aux”. So caught 3 minutes of Jim Engster on National Public Radio. *Sigh* Discussing attempts to challenge the new health care legislation – legislation? that itself merits discussion … Continue reading
