    We All Tumblog Down

    Finally… finally. It’s working, now that I’ve finally figured out where the tags go. I did have to replace WP’s the_title tag with Woo Tumblog’s tag, but I didn’t fully replace the entire line and permalink. Will need to figure out how to style the Links, Quotes, Video etc. tumblog archive links with a background image for each. Currently, if a post is a “link” post, the title link is replaced by the tumblog link, with a text link above to the “link” archive (or quotes, or whatever). I’d rather that word was replaced by the icon, but will have…

    Sorry, Boos and Ghouls, No Candy. Really.

    With Halloween on a Sunday this year, I’m home during the beginning of prime time “trick or treat” visitors. As it’s still broad daylight outside, leaving the porchlight off isn’t really a visible sign that “we’re not at home, no candy here.” So I barricaded the front porch with 2 plastic chairs, and on the walkway leading up to the porch, one plastic chair tightly wedged between the lilac bushes, and another chair in front of that at the beginning of the walkway from the driveway. I just didn’t want to hear the doorbell all afternoon and evening, and also…

    The Truth Would Set Us Free If Only The Lies Weren’t So Irresistible

    The stupid people shall elect the leaders that gave them the tastiest Kool-Aid to drink, which allowed them to blame their problems on the Dems who’ve been unable to solve them, instead of on the cynical Repubs who caused the problems in the first place, then blocked every solution they could. Polls are useless, and we’re in deeper trouble if sane people don’t vote. Stop the insanity, VOTE! One of the biggest problems facing the Democrats going into this election is that they’re getting absolutely zero respect for everything they’ve done for the average American over the past two years.…
