- @woothemes thanks for these! Much needed, and gorgeous GPL web icons: http://bit.ly/dc4Rhb cc:@flashingcursor #
- @OneFineJay I rather prefer a democratic process to the dictatorship proposed by @owillis in reply to OneFineJay #
- @janeforshort I should hope not! isn't that essentially academic indulgences (or, bribery)? in reply to janeforshort #
- @owillis a legislative bill being passed with no input/intervention by the minority party is dictatorial, not democratic cc:@onefinejay in reply to owillis #
- @owillis "majority" != "absolute power". But thanks for the demonstration of liberalism's true colors. cc:@onefinejay in reply to owillis #
- @owillis reciprocity? Where did GOP ever do what you're asking for? p.s. minority voice isn't "taint" (more liberal hubris) cc:@onefinejay in reply to owillis #
- @OneFineJay shocked? not at all. Like I said: liberalism's true colors (absolute, statist power; democracy is a hindrance) in reply to OneFineJay #
- @owillis but not without input/influence from the then-minority Dems. That's the key point. in reply to owillis #
- @Ipstenu strippers didn't kill 3,000 Americans in the name of stripperism, and then build a strip club in the ruins of the WTC to taunt us in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu that's the truth! (Though, I still have issues w/Bad Behavior and OpenID playing nicely together.) in reply to Ipstenu #
- @ewerickson does Handel have a chance of pulling it out? in reply to ewerickson #
- @ewerickson and the Republican primary has 35K more votes than the Dem primary in reply to ewerickson #
- @Skitzzo not a bit of it surprises me in reply to Skitzzo #
- @carlhancock we have them all over the house here. Get some glue pads. They work great. in reply to carlhancock #
- @carlhancock @skitzzo who here believed that? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller…? in reply to carlhancock #
- @carlhancock @skitzzo and will be ultimately detrimental to the community in reply to carlhancock #
- @Skitzzo you lost me at "benevolent" in reply to Skitzzo #

- @themelab is @ianb running a WP 3.1 nightly (i.e. unstable), or does he mean WP 3.0.1? Also, WP can't patch itself against poor host configs in reply to themelab #
- @CaseySoftware I think you mean "double-plus-ungood" in reply to CaseySoftware #
- @Ipstenu @andrea_r that's my oldest daughter as well: she looks just like me, except that she's pretty (which she clearly gets from her mom) in reply to Ipstenu #
- @DeFries but it's still a non-trivial difference between a stable bug release (3.0.1) and a use-at-your-own-risk nightly build (3.1) in reply to DeFries #
- @andrea_r that's *never* something a child should say to a parent… 😀 in reply to andrea_r #
- @Ipstenu I'm shocked you had to say that in the first place, much less repeat yourself and elaborate. (Strike that: not shocked; saddened) in reply to Ipstenu #
- @18to88 we're heading into town this evening, to go to the fair tomorrow. in reply to 18to88 #
- @OneFineJay Minnesotans don't have a "midwest" accent; they have a *Minnesota* accent. See central IN and southern IL for *midwest* accent. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @kimparsell @OneFineJay indeed: central OH, too! My wife's Cincinnati accent, and the St. Louis locals' accent, however, are something else in reply to kimparsell #

- @themelab great list! p.s. @nettuts – the Theme Unit Test data WXR file has been updated (significantly). See wp.org for the most recent rev in reply to themelab #
- @OneFineJay Such crowd-sourcing is inherently flawed. Need I scour Alternet for a similar excoriation of the libs who use the same tactics? in reply to OneFineJay #
- @nacin Lindsey Graham is a fool. Please don't hang that moron on the whole party. Jus soli is morally right. Anti-14th will have no legs. in reply to nacin #
- @nacin I think it's pandering, because he knows he's in trouble. But he's clearly misunderstanding the issue. in reply to nacin #
- @nacin and that's the truth. There are many in the establishment that aren't happy that we (the little people) are trying to clean house in reply to nacin #
- @nacin McConnell, Sessions, Kyl, and McCain are mentioned as a "thumbs up" for the idea. RINOs all. Will be happy to see them go. in reply to nacin #
- Middle Class America: Senate Democrats just voted to raise your taxes: http://bit.ly/9aQTol (and Missouri noticed *your* vote, @ClaireCMC) #
- Hey Dick Lugar and Lindsey Graham: do us all a favor and switch parties. It will save us all time and money in your next Senate primary. #

- @conorpegypt I debunked this one months ago: http://bit.ly/bvPB4f bottom line: such studies define/measure "quality" of Health care wrong in reply to conorpegypt #
- @conorpegypt to demonstrate the point: how many from US go to AUS/CAN/GER/NETH/NZ/UK for medical treatment? How many of them come to US? in reply to conorpegypt #
- @andreasnrb as a parent, I believe that's *my* responsibility. That would be a parenting #fail more than a school system #fail in reply to andreasnrb #
- @andreasnrb I've seen that before, but it's only intermittent for me. Find any related Trac tickets? in reply to andreasnrb #
- @GrantGriffiths I'm late to the party, but here you go anyway: I have 34 active plugins. in reply to GrantGriffiths #
- @caffeinatedb for sure – especially since they are publicly funded. in reply to caffeinatedb #
- @caffeinatedb and we had swimming classes, too (freshman year for me) – but I knew how to swim long before then in reply to caffeinatedb #
- @OneFineJay (as usual) I'm with you. That whole argument has been framed entirely incorrectly. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @conorpegypt (feel free to have a go; I'm thick-skinned 😉 ). I've experienced several other countries, but not health care per se. in reply to conorpegypt #
- @conorpegypt but then, I don't argue from anecdote, so I'm not sure such experience is relevant or necessary. in reply to conorpegypt #
- @ryancduff thanks! Just doing our part. in reply to ryancduff #
- @conorpegypt if you're unemployed, you get free coverage through the government, via Medicaid. in reply to conorpegypt #
- @conorpegypt in the U.S., no hospital can turn you away. If you show up, you get treated. in reply to conorpegypt #
- @conorpegypt indeed, it isn't. But it works for us. Americans value personal freedom and choice over (government) security, any day. in reply to conorpegypt #
- @ryancduff and note: we were outspent 4:1 in advertising. (I say "we" only in the sense that I supported Prop C. I wasn't directly involved) in reply to ryancduff #
- @conorpegypt argument? Nah… just a discussion. 😉 in reply to conorpegypt #
- @conorpegypt not surprising. I grew up in "flyover country", in a farm community where most had never left the state, much less country. in reply to conorpegypt #
- @conorpegypt wanderlust is not part of the ethos for a great deal of the US Midwest, rather "work hard, take care of home and family" in reply to conorpegypt #
- @conorpegypt on the other hand, I love to travel. 🙂 in reply to conorpegypt #
- @Ed4Congress congrats on your primary win! Methinks Pelosi-lapdog Russ will have plenty of time to sail on his tax-avoiding yacht after Nov! in reply to Ed4Congress #
- @MarkReardonKMOX all eyes were on Prop C. I don't think MO State Auditor primary is a referendum on Tea Party endorsements. in reply to MarkReardonKMOX #
- @OneFineJay I think the primaries are *the* place to voice intra-party dissent: ideology in the primary, party in the general. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay indeed. Look at the Michigan GOP primary for governor. Time for runoffs (or caucuses)? in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay UT is safe GOP (TP cand. Mike Lee 58%/28%). Do you mean NV? (TP cand Sharron Angle w/in MOE vs. Harry Reid) in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay GOP primaries were all uncontested in Utah in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay and I can't find any current polling to indicate state of the 3 UT house races? in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay can't find such a state. Here's the RCP House map: http://bit.ly/9BaW32 any ideas? in reply to OneFineJay #
- @andrea_r @kimparsell @wptavern 2nd day in a row projected 102 degrees, index up to 112 here in St. Louis. I'll trade any of you 🙂 in reply to andrea_r #
- @OneFineJay no worries. Maybe it was just a transient poll result? in reply to OneFineJay #
- @Ipstenu if only she were, you know, qualified. (The same reason, coincidentally, that I opposed W's nomination of Harriet Miers.) in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu wrt "qualified": yes. in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu Prop 8 doesn't prevent marriage. in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu indeed – and all men and women are equally able to marry, under Prop 8. Prop 8 doesn't deny the right of marriage. in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu what about a man and 2 women? Should they be able to marry? Where does "due process" end and propriety begin? in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu possibly. The family is so fundamental to health of society that *society* has the right to define it to its benefit… in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu i.e. between one man and one woman. in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu nope. Each of them can still marry. Each can marry a man. in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu and I believe that point is not mere semantics. in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu I love you the same regardless of sexual orientation. 🙂 in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu understandable. I support your right to choose/live your lifestyle, just not the right to redefine marriage. in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu 140char limit applies here. I believe the dismantling of traditional family to be the single most destructive impact on society in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu but the gay marriage issue is a small fraction of that. Hetero men/women who divorce/don't marry are by far more impactful in reply to Ipstenu #
- @OneFineJay I've always held that marriage is a religious – not State – institution. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @andreasnrb send some my way, please! in reply to andreasnrb #
- @Ipstenu we share an adherence to Genesis, right? That's where I believe marriage is defined as the joining of one man and one woman in reply to Ipstenu #
- @Ipstenu I could write volumes, just based on my own experiences with my family, my wife, her family, and our children. in reply to Ipstenu #
- @nathanrice @OneFineJay agreed. The Federal Judiciary continues to overstep its authority. It *will* have repercussions eventually. in reply to nathanrice #
- @andreasnrb aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!! Just what I need. 103 degrees (40C to you) on my drive home this afternoon. in reply to andreasnrb #
- @OneFineJay believe it or not, I think I'm cool with that. I believe in equal protection under the State. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @andreasnrb add in the heat index (humidity factor) and it felt like 45C. in reply to andreasnrb #

- 4:50am – time to head to the polls. Everyone in #StLouis come out and vote today! ('Yes' on Prop C. Reject ObamaCare!) #
- @ewerickson I was a poll supervisor in a very Democrat-heavy part of St. Louis county. Prop C won even in my precinct. in reply to ewerickson #
- @andreasnrb it's going no farther in Missouri. The Show-Me state is showing ObamaCare the door. Prop C to reject it currently up 75%-25%. in reply to andreasnrb #
- @Hamlin4Congress congratulations on your primary win today! #
- @whennessy I just finished a 17-hour day. Coming home to the thus-far Prop C results is making my night! in reply to whennessy #
- @DanStlMo 330,000 vote margin, with 78% reporting. in reply to DanStlMo #
- @24thstate even St. Louis Co voted in FAVOR of Prop C: 61%-39%. STL City only contributed a4,000 vote margin against a 355K margin in favor in reply to 24thstate #

- Game ON! Hughes signed! \via @Adam_Schefter …The #Colts and first-round pick Jerry Hughes agreed to a five-year contract. More at espn.com #
- @pwilson24 I love Wayne, but he needs to put some ice on it. Play better in the Super Bowl, and maybe we can talk. in reply to pwilson24 #
- @pwilson24 totally expected, but no less welcome. Best news of the day! With Sanders/Gonzo not on PUP also, it's Christmas in August. in reply to pwilson24 #
- @pwilson24 right now, I'm sticking with "both practiced this morning and looked decent" fullstop. But you know me: the eternal optimist! 🙂 in reply to pwilson24 #
- @williamsba have you talked with @andreasnrb? You guys might be able to collaborate in the affiliate space. in reply to williamsba #
- @OneFineJay dude, you're en fuego today in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay indeed. Couldn't care less about Bieber, but your Meghan McCain stuff is cracking me up. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @pwilson24 right now, it's *all* upside. Defending AFC champs, healthier than we've been since XLI, promising young talent… in reply to pwilson24 #
- @pwilson24 Sanders and Gonzo are icing on the cake. Their absence didn't cost us the SB; Freeney and Powers' injuries did. So, I'm pumped! in reply to pwilson24 #
- Just got off the roof, taking the satellite dish apart. I don't remember "putting my life at risk" being part of my SatTV contract. #

- @conorpegypt I'm not sure I could keep up with 2/day – but a few a week perhaps. in reply to conorpegypt #
- @Skitzzo and in more important news: #Colts training camp opened a couple hours ago. Football season is upon us! in reply to Skitzzo #
- @markwaterous no, and thanks for the reminder! When I find some motivation today, I'll work on it. 🙂 in reply to markwaterous #

- @markwaterous apparently. I'll forward you the email tomorrow. It's well past my bedtime… in reply to markwaterous #
- @markwaterous guilty as charged 🙂 in reply to markwaterous #
- @andreasnrb glanced at them. Based on my current reading: I don't find most of them to be confusing. Almost every answer is "no". 🙂 in reply to andreasnrb #
- @andreasnrb v3 doesn't get to define "derivative work" any more than v2 does. 😉 in reply to andreasnrb #
- @andreasnrb IMO GPL erred by referring only to derivative works, rather than also including compilations and combinations. in reply to andreasnrb #
- @Jpeezy25 @YungLace27 wish you guys were still at Rose-Hulman, but I'm still excited for camp to open tomorrow! Go #Colts in reply to Jpeezy25 #
- @Adam_Schefter Portage, MI. Welcome to Tree City USA. (I used to live in Kalamazoo; beautiful part of Michigan – and the country.) in reply to Adam_Schefter #
- The Colts open Training Camp tomorrow. Season is so close I can smell it! Are you ready for some football? Go #Colts #AFC champs! #

- @bradleypotter have you checked the site with JS disabled? Only the header menu/logo gets displayed. No graceful degradation? in reply to bradleypotter #
- @ryancduff happy birthday! #
- @Skitzzo I am humbled that @copyblogger linked my blog post in that interview! And it is, indeed, an interesting read. in reply to Skitzzo #
- @Skitzzo but we already knew his stance, didn't we? He was the "lawyer on board" who defended the non-GPL license, wasn't he? in reply to Skitzzo #
- @flashingcursor too true, and disheartening. in reply to flashingcursor #
- @carlhancock @skitzzo yeah, he clearly chose his words carefully, to emphasize that he's not leaving over GPL issues in reply to carlhancock #
- @carlhancock @skitzzo indeed – because he knew they would get pummeled in court of public opinion long before the lawsuit was decided in reply to carlhancock #
- @Skitzzo @carlhancock that's what I gathered, too. They're still working out the severance details. in reply to Skitzzo #
- @andreasnrb @carlhancock @flashingcursor @Skitzzo I agree wholeheartedly. in reply to andreasnrb #
- @Skitzzo all germane legal issues aside, speaking of TV lawyers (and courts): could you imagine Chris Pearson vs. Judge Judy? 😀 in reply to Skitzzo #
- @OneFineJay uh-oh, now I'm inspired to write a response. One cannot "quit Christianity but not Christ". The church *is* the body of Christ. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @Adam_Schefter that Bengals logo is big. Almost reaches Anderson, IN. If Colts camp were still at Rose-Hulman, would be room for both logos! in reply to Adam_Schefter #
- @norcross one body, one church, one faith, one baptism, one Lord – all who proclaim faith in Christ are His body (I Cor 10, 12; Eph 3, 4) in reply to norcross #
- @OneFineJay a completely valid response, as well in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay wouldn't try to sway you from Catholicism, but have you ever tried worshiping in a non- or inter-denominational church? in reply to OneFineJay #
- @norcross indeed, very fractured. We haven't lived the commandment to "keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace" very well. in reply to norcross #
- @OneFineJay I'm very simple: like Paul to the Corinthians, "Jesus Christ and Him crucified" is all that really matters. 🙂 in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay @norcross real men hug. No qualifying hashtag needed. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @markwaterous @andrea_r ha! I had a similar thought. 🙂 in reply to markwaterous #
- @Adam_Schefter only until (a healthy) Bob Sanders signs a new contract next offseason. 😉 in reply to Adam_Schefter #
- @andrea_r wasn't that obvious, given her discussion of smooth armpits and male model caresses? (cc: @markwaterous) in reply to andrea_r #
- @Adam_Schefter it's Cracker Barrel. How could you possibly go wrong? They even have low-carb menu options! in reply to Adam_Schefter #
- @bradleypotter technically, if there's no (C) attribution in the header, then its not properly licensed. Copyright owner needs to address in reply to bradleypotter #
- @flashingcursor @bradley see "How to apply these terms to your new programs" http://bit.ly/blr821 in reply to flashingcursor #
- @bradleypotter @flashingcursor that's how I would do it: add in your own attribution along with the ported code in reply to bradleypotter #
- @bradleypotter @flashingcursor that's what I do, even if just using something I referenced from the Codex, I add a Codex link in reply to bradleypotter #
- @bradleypotter it's supposed to be there. Declaring copyright/license is inconsistent w/WP extensions. Remember this? http://bit.ly/9avbMs in reply to bradleypotter #
- @bradleypotter true, but that doesn't make it right. 😉 I think you're in the clear either way, but GPL 2.0 gives attribution instructions in reply to bradleypotter #
- @markwaterous I had no problems generating bit.ly shortlinks for over 1000 posts and pages… in reply to markwaterous #
