The book title uses the "and" but Palin's last name is pronounced in a way that doesn't really require the "and," in my head.<br /><br />But geez, quick or not, I should have at least thrown an "and" in there.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-85437202419711662312009-05-29T09:49:15.843-04:002009-05-29T09:49:15.843-04:00This blog post does it, as does this and problably...<A HREF="http://www.wheatandweeds.com/2008/08/sarah-palin-tall.html" REL="nofollow"> This blog post</A> does it, as does <A HREF="http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2008/08/video-sarah-pal.html" REL="nofollow">this</A> and problably others, and "sarah palin and tall" gets 21,000 hits on Google.

Very clever, Jack.
Speaking of clever wo...Clever. Very clever, Jack.<br /><br />Speaking of clever word usages, one I'm moderately surprised hasn't been used yet in relation to Sarah Palin (They've all been used seemingly.) is Sarah Palin Tall or Sarah Palin'd Tall. Now, why hasn't some industrious young wordsmith mashed up Sarah Palin and Sarah Plain and Tall? It seems so obvious. I think the answer might be that the proper context for its use has yet to arise. <br /><br />Soon friends, soon.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-70754949281491197982009-05-28T13:08:34.320-04:002009-05-28T13:08:34.320-04:00I like Sanford, but his message of fiscal conserva...I like Sanford, but his message of fiscal conservatism palins in comparison to Huckabee's main political theme — his love of Jesus Crist. Huckabee's support of evangelicals will have to be newtralized by other candidates seeking the nomination, and there are pawlenty of them.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365194237710177589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-3109670727796525282009-05-28T12:19:55.783-04:002009-05-28T12:19:55.783-04:00I overestimated my patience.

There are ...Yeah, I went back and forth yesterday. There are two routes to take and pros and cons each way. As is, you have the up-to-date tweets and links to the Twitter point of origin. The drawback is you have to wait every time you refresh the page or click to comment or whatever. <br /><br />The other way is to utilize the RSS feed that is provided by Twitter. You get the links there too, but there is the RSS delay that comes with that. For example, Gingrich's Twitter RSS had a tweet about McCain and North Korea up all day yesterday. That's fine, but we know that he had at least two Sotomayor-related comments up during the day, that the RSS was slow to update for whatever reason. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Sarah Palin was tweeting up a storm and all of those were updated through RSS rather quickly. So there is some variability from user to user. <br /><br />The question, then, is do you want to deal with the RSS delay or the site delay due to the Twitter gadget up now? I'm still torn. I'll give it a week or so and reevaluate then.<br /><br />...if I'm not completely frustrated by that point.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-10488794263864867102009-05-27T23:19:38.714-04:002009-05-27T23:19:38.714-04:00Yes, the site's been a bit slow, taking about seve...Yes, the site's been a bit slow, taking about seven seconds before the text of the blog displays, as opposed to the 1-2 seconds it used to take. It really says something that that's considered slow. I personally don't mind.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365194237710177589noreply@blogger.com
