Braintrust query: If you're a writer, but not a techie, do you like Markdown? If so, what do you use to write your MD text? Is any of it public? If so how do you get it on the web? Where do you store it? How much does it cost, if anything?#
Whoever leads the Democratic majority in the Senate must have the support of Bernie Sanders. #
At the beginning of Sanders' running for president, I didn't like him. I thought HRC was a much better choice. #
Maybe the electorate wasn't ready for him. I sure wasn't. But now, last week's election was his validation.#
This is our second chance to get past the toxic combination of the Repub leadership and the Dem leadership. If we're going to have a war it has to come from our strength. Ideally there will be no war because the American people, believe it or not, are willing to give Bernie a chance now. #
We all voted for that. Schumer thinks we voted for him. #
Two old Jewish men, one who defined our future and one who history has passed by, who doesn't know it yet. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
