It’s a real shame. I can’t think of anything more boring than politics, but most of the highest trafficked blogs are also political. Clearly a lot of people like wasting their time with it, and we gotta get used to it

Great plugin, I searched for something like this not long ago and failed. Congrats on the PR6!
SEO’s also compete for attention.

That’s why I’m here Mike…to make your life a LIVING H-E- Double Hockey Sticks *LIGHTNING* *FUNDER*.
But you know, this super political buzz will continue until about November then we can focus on other more important things, like instant messenger log files or something.

Nutscrape is some real crap. I’d like to know their “tagging system” is anything other that search engine spam.

I’m a bit obsessed with politics. (As if I could make a difference) Where is Paris Hilton when you need her!
Thanks for the plug-in! It will be a HUGE timeserver. I hate stitching multiple screenshots together in Photoshop.
