That the Clinton campaign and her allies in the media (yes, her allies in the media) have called this a gaffe is only a show of how pitifully but willfully out of touch Clinton is out of touch. Will she get any mileage out of this? The true believers who already celebrate Clinton will latch onto this, but who else does this kind of bizarro world claim that everybody's happy in Pennsylvania reminds me of that old Buzzcocks song, and not in a nice way, either.

OT: I seem not to be able to get any of the comments sections over at TalkLeft. (I go there to keep my eye on when the mass suicides will begin.) This all seemed to have happened when I countered Jeralyn's claim that there was proof of Obama's anti-semitism because a fundraiser for Obama was held by a Muslim with all that money Bill Clinton just got for that oil deal he "brokered." Then again, maybe it's my computer. Last week The Left Coaster just disappeared on me for a few days.

Nothing that will break through the fantasy allowed. But you don't actually get banned. You just lose the ability to comment or see comments.

Not that  I've been banned and gone back under a different name or anything! ;)

Then you should be able to at least read the comments. But only do it for that site or you might hose all of your logins for sites like BT.

This is problem. I'm kinda of old and baffled by computer things. The last time I cleared my cookies I had food poisoning.

Actually, commenting at TalkLeft isn't as important as knowing that Jeralyn cares enough to ban me.

Heh. Actually I kind of like the world of computers. Especially Linux/Unix, where

talk, unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes, fsck, fsck, fsck, more, more, more, yes, yes, yes, umount, sleep

is a perfectly valid series of commands.
