Readability goes a long way in any presentation, good or bad. A little effort makes your work more appealing. On FR if you use no HTML in the piece you can get by on paragraphs by just hitting the enter key twice.

Quite true but these days who even needs a paragraph. This forum has become a chat room. 99% of the comments are simply one liners that are not worth reading. Look through this thread and try to find some actual thoughful commentary that might contribute to the cause. It is pretty hard to find. Great entertainment - pass the popcorn. But informative? I'm afraid not.

So who needs HTML for chat?

Another FReeper checked Denver forcast (upthread). Said ‘no chance of rain’ but wouldn’t it just be (almost) biblical (take that Nancy, taunting the Vatican!) if the skies would just open up anyways...

"Tomorrow is the day of days though...roll call or no roll call? Bill...filtered or unfiltered? Hmmmm...."

Your a wise lady. This thing is not over yet.

Bill: "Hillary deserves a full roll call vote", "Oh, by the way, did you all know about Bill Ayers?".

Has anyone else noticed that over the last 4-5 days the media is really letting Obama have it? All of these things that were verboten to speak about have suddenly made it into the papers - the COLB stuff, the Ayers stuff, etc... etc... Makes me even more nervous about tomorrow and Hillary...

“the media is really letting Obama have it?”

I should’ve added - in comparison to the last year of coverage and fawning over him...

"She also says, "Barack" with a tone."

She says it like Ba Rack instead of Ba Rock.

“I think she was talking about the slave hunters who were pursuing the slaves with torches coming through the woods.”

I think she was trying to equate republicans/conservatives/George Bush/ John McCain with clan members and racists! Go look at the speech..it wasn’t so veiled. It was pretty blatant.

It is only going to get worse and that was the best preview yet of what we are going to be faced with from now until November.

I work for a company that makes plastic products, so far with many engineers, we have not found a great product that would replace petroleum.

We still have some pretty meaty threads on a daily basis - although they are not always in the sidebar...

It’s just that these live threads are more like a “convention watching party” is all.

STANLEY KURTZ ON WITH GRETA NOW --- HE'S INVESTIGATING WHAT AYERS AND BHO DID IN THE ANNENBERG CHALLENGE FOUNDATION .. he was previously given then denied then given permission to see them.

The public put pressure on the Univ. of Chicago .. and it worked. Saying that the relationship between Ayers/BHO is even closer than they knew.

Heh heh....here’s Greta......Love it! Hillary sets ‘em up, while her minions undermine Obama.....Hillary gets the face time as the gracious loser that many wish had been the nominee, while others get their hands dirty to sink Obama before the confirmation vote with the Ayers Obama link........BRILLIANT CLINTONISTA TACTICS!

My guess is that Bill picks up the ‘torch’ theme tomorrow and runs with it. Bad pun, but he is pretty good at the racial warfare.

I've heard that's what snorting cocaine does to you.
