  • Subject Line Length?

    Current mood: cynical

    The “hidden” meaning of the title should be self-evident.

    I posit that a posting’s title should probably be less than one line across the top of the field reserved for the title.

    Here’s the full title I typed in –

    Exactly How Long Should One Of These Subject Lines Last?! I Mean, Seriously, I Could Probably Get a Whole Paragraph Well Maybe Not A Paragraph But Definitely A Long Sentence. What Do Y’all Think? Is This Too Long? Maybe I Should Go On a Few Lines More? How Much Is Too Much Here? It Doesn’t Seem to Cut Off At 255 Characters, Like MS Windows Does With Filenames. How Many Words Should You Need In A Subject Line To Adequately Let People Know What The Topic Is All About?

    Here’s the error message that I received after I clicked “Publish Post” –

    We’re Sorry

    A problem seems to have occurred. Please correct the following:

         The Post Title is over 200 characters

      Wait til Obummer really has his way with the economy and the traffic will reverse itself with Americans seeking to head south. In fact, some Americans already have sought greener pastures in Mexico and Central America. “Sealing” the border just makes it more difficult for people to get OUT – how many people tried to break into the Soviet Union?

      Tom Mullins – the clown who ran against Adam Kokesh for the 3rd Congressional District – might be able to help you with the land mines and sentry guns. That part of the country has the wrong climate for alligators.

      “This is an example of what property owners deal with on the border. It gets worse – property damage includes dead animals, ruined stock tanks, vandalized vehicles and equipment, and shooting deaths of ranchers and rangers by drug gangs. It also includes ‘rape’ trees, where the torn underwear of illegal border crossing women is hung after they are raped by the ‘coyotes,’ whom the women pay to bring them across the border. The rape is free.”

      ALL of these are malum in se crimes and should be prosecuted as such. This “seal the border” hysteria – as though the lettuce-pickers are a 21st-Century version of Genghis Khan’s Golden Horde – is right of the playbooks of Samuel Gompers (who used this schtick against Chinese immigrants in the 1880s) and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who didn’t want the immigrants competing with the union labor crowd who put him in office. The reason that Obummer wants them to keep coming is that he and his union masters want to sign them up as dues-paying, sign-holding toadies.

      Let’s instead dump Drug Prohibition and dump federal intervention in the economy, so that American workers aren’t priced out of the labor market and the cartels lose the price boost that the Drug Front of the War against Liberty gives them. A friend with a past as a drug runner once told me that he would have nightmares about re-legalization of drugs.

    4. Are you Suuure you want lying CEOs running this country?

      Colonel Robert F. Cunningham said:

      I’m not hard-and-fast in the Trump Camp either. But credit where credit is due . . . he DID make Obastard add a layer of s**t upon himself . . . but that’s not reason enough to be President.

      Trump made a similar show of “running for President” in 2004, when he “tried” for the Reform Party’s nomination. Back then he was calling for a 14-15 percent tax on “rich people.” Was he including himself in that category, or did his plan have loopholes so he could skate that tax?

      And your comparison to Kommrade Wilson and the Donald is absolute for those of us with any common sense.

      Thank you! That’s a big reason that I’m not in the Trump camp at all. He’ll say whatever he thinks will get him the most press coverage at the moment, regardless of long-term fallout.

      When it comes to my vote – and those I influence – Kommrade Wilson isn’t even on the list and the doors are wide open to everyone else: Who puts the Constitution FIRST and has a track record to prove it. Then we nit-pick the other priorities, economy, illegal immigraion, education, et cetera – and that list is long and volatile. The Donald still has room for consideration, but he’s damned sure going to have his feet to the fire: something most re-elected and the freshmen haven’t lived up to either.

      At present, our mercantilist plutocrat “masters” see the Heinrich “vs.” Wilson “choice” as sufficient for us.

      On the Democrat side, I’d go with Hector Balderas – he seems to be unconnected to the good-ol’-boy patron system that’s been plaguing New Mexico for a while now.

      John Sanchez is a flake – I was told by a State Senator that back in August 2002 while he was running for governor, he blew off a meeting with the NM Shooting Sports Association, and couldn’t be bothered to explain why. Richardson did attend, said what they wanted to hear, and got the NMSSA endorsement as a result.

      Greg Sowards also strikes me as at least a flake, if not outright nutcase – see this comment from Bill English:

      Recently I had Greg Sowards contact me and ask for a meeting. I agreed simply because I know Greg and respected him. He spent the better part of two hours trying to convince me to withdraw from the race, telling me that it was his destiny to become the next Senator from New Mexico. When I pointed out to him that with the 2012 election there was a very real possibility that that the democrats could take back control of the house, I thought he was going to go into melt down. His immediate response was that “God wouldn’t let that happen and if he did then he’s abandon America”. He went on to say that he believed that it was his destiny to become the next Senator from New Mexico

      That leaves, simply by process of elimination, Bill English. He’s getting the same cold shoulder from the Monty Newman machine that Adam Kokesh got from the Harvey Yates gang prior to the 2010 primary.
