Sleeping works too: “Ann Coulter draws yawns, not jeers”

Filed Under Politics | 2 Comments

From the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Coulter delivered a 35-minute speech that bounced from topic to topic – from Sen. Larry Craig’s bust in a Minnesota airport bathroom to some Clinton bashing, and her argument that Democrats want the U.S. to lose the war on terrorism.

The speech was a series of one-liners, the kind she uses regularly on the cable talk show circuits…

…there was no hooting and hollering from the audience and very little applause or laughter at her one-liners either.

Most interesting facts about her presentation:

-”The Xavier College Republican Club paid Coulter $20,000 – all of it raised through private donations – to speak in a closed-off, 3,000-seat section of the basketball arena.”  Attendance was 1,273.

-The Counter-Coulter groups raised more than $26,000 and pulled in about 200 people to celebrate across from the arena.

-She spoke for 35 minutes – so that would be $571 per minute. The article doesn’t indicate whether she took questions later.

-Her speech was a series of one-liners.

Hmm.  According to Wikipedia, she describes herself as a polemicist. If someone would pay me $571/minute to be a polemicist, I’d give speeched full of one-liners that wouldn’t make people clap or smile too.

Earn a mitzvah: help Jill copy & paste text w/hyperlinks into WordPress

Filed Under Blogging | 7 Comments

I’ve figured out how to bring up the advanced toolbar on a Mac (read here). I’ve managed to bring up the special panel that tells you to paste your Word text into a special box that then inserts it into the WordPress text box (for when you’re writing your blog entry).

But each time I’ve successfully managed to paste that text in (and I don’t actually succeed every time, and I don’t know if that’s because I have to use the Control C to copy or do it from the toolbar), it still doesn’t have the hyperlinks from the text.

I’m working with text that was sent to me in an html document.

Okay – I know everyone is just dying to help me with this. But think of it this way: it’s a mitzvah. A big mitzvah. And with Yom Kippur next week, don’t you need all the mitzvot you can muster?
