No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Let the Presidential numbers game commence

by @ 10:58. Filed under Politics - National.

Update #1 (10:58 am 10/2/2007) – Hillary’s unofficial numbers are in

This will be updated and bumped up as the cash count comes in, so I don’t want to clutter Hot Air and Michelle Malkin’s blog with too many trackbacks on the initial run (5:05 pm 10/1/2007). Let’s go straight to the not-quite-official third-quarter numbers from the campaigns, with the caveat that the official numbers aren’t due into the Federal Election Commission until the 15th:

– Hillary Clinton checks in with $22 million for the primaries and $5 million for the general.
– Barack Hussein Obama raised over $19 million for the primaries and about $1 million for the general.
– Mitt Romney raised about $10 million and chipped in $6 million-$7 million from his bank accounts.
– Fred Thompson raised over $8 million, plus $3.5 million in June.
– John Edwards, who is taking several million dollars in public financing in exchange for being outspent about 2-1 by both Obama and Hillary Clinton, raised about $7 million and has $12 million on hand.
– Bill Richardson raised $5.2 million.
– John McCain allegedly raised about $5 million and is still over $2 million in the hole (the campaign isn’t talking).
– Joe Biden raised a bit under $2 million.
– Christopher Dodd raised $1.5 million and has $4 million on hand.

Comment editing now available!

by @ 10:29. Filed under Miscellaneous.

I’ve done a bit of rooting around and finally found a comment editor that looks halfway-decent, and with just a wee bit of modification, plays nicely with Filosofo Comment Preview – WP Ajax Edit Comments by Robert Huereca. You now have 15 minutes from the time you post a comment to edit that comment, your name/URI, or both.

I’ve also found a semi-replacement for Bad Behavior, which runs like molasses in January. Now, all comments (and allegedly, trackbacks/pingbacks) on threads with no activity for the past 15 days will go into the moderation queue if they survive Akismet.

Poll housekeeping

by @ 0:37. Filed under NRE Polls.

First things first, I closed the “Who won’t be a candidate as of 10/1/2007?” poll as yesterday was 10/1. Congrats to the three people who saw that nobody would drop out.

I did encounter a problem between updating WordPress and WP-Polls; somehow, the number of voters was reset to the number of votes. I went back through the logs and manually corrected this. It should work properly now.
