Here is your Halloween Horror Story Scary Post! Victoria Collier has a terrifying account of electoral spookiness in the current Harper's Magazine. * Spoiler alert: Collier suggests that it is entirely possible that the GOP will be able to rig computerized voting machines to ensure that Mitt Romney wins the Presidency...and further, there's
Yeah, you don't have to tell me, I do this stuff for a living ;) So I'll let it slide that a cookie can be multi-valued.
Of course, it would really be more accurate to say that it was the cookie that's modifying the request headers, or rather, causing the browser to do so. If you delete your cookies, you're really preventing that modification from happening.
Now I think about it, Private mode is definitely the easiest way for your average user to stop their browser storing state (e.g., counting how many articles you've read on nytimes.com)
Doesn't sound quite as bad as the whining coming out of the GOP that the President is politicizing the storm damage by handling it competently.
Or quite as &quot;WTF?!!&quot; as Michael Brown saying that by starting the Federal response at the earliest opportunity, Obama missed a chance to make political hay by letting the entire eastern seaboard become <em>even more</em> fucked up and <em>then</em> swooping in as the savior figure.

Remember, though: all of the Republican freshman from the 2010 wave are up for reelection. Every one of them. It&#039;s not like the Senate.
True, redistricting didn&#039;t help much, but the current RCP poll average for the House generic ballot is R+0.5, in other words, basically a tie. In 2010, Nate&#039;s analysis suggested that Dems turned votes into House seats slightly more efficiently than Republicans, because there are many highly populous deep-Red districts, and this suggested that a tied popular ballot or even a slight popular vote win for Republicans would result in Democratic control of the House. I don&#039;t know how redistricting and incumbency alter that math, and unfortunately Nate does not appear to be running a House forecast this cycle, but I&#039;d take a 2:1 bet on it happening.
You have to wonder: What, exactly, is the effect on passers-by of a Miffed Money sign, when it&#039;s displayed in the gate of an obviously very expensive, gated, walled estate. Is it just me, or is &quot;Fuck this shit&quot; the natural, instinctive reaction of a normal citizen?
The first beer I ever drank was a Rolling Rock, of course long before they left Latrobe, but long before I had the faintest clue where Latrobe was (that wasn&#039;t until we took my eldest stepson on a college visit to St. Vincent U - I can now from personal experience strongly advise against anyone attempting to drive there from Long Island in an ice storm).
So it&#039;s a crumbling cookie that&#039;s the problem? I could not even load the page, and kept getting weird (non-404) errors until I quit and restarted my browser.
There has to be some state stored between browsing sessions, and cookies are the only reliable way to do that across the range of browsers that a site like NYT has to deal with.
You don&#039;t have to hack your headers to change your cookies - just use Firefox and the Web Developer plugin, and you can delete the cookies selectively. Alternatively, with FF closed, you can just edit the cookie files directly if you happen to know how to find them.
But not too many people do that either.
There&#039;s always anonymizing proxies, or browsing NYT in private mode (phwoar, look at the typography on that Gray Lady!)
Although in the case of the WISC count, there was enough corroborating evidence for the final adjusted tally that disbelieving it is into tinfoil territory.
Menendez is divorced so it&#039;s not like he was cheating on his wife.

That&#039;s what happens when you lack the personell to check these things.
&quot;Could such a thing even work?&quot;
Not for Republicans. That&#039;s what makes it unfair.

Be sure to take it off during thunderstorms.
True story:
The morning after the last debate, a bunch of Steve Israel signs appeared on my route to work, clustered around an expressway entrance.
Couple of days later, the first verge signs for his opponent appeared.
By the end of the week, all the Israel signs had been removed.
Ratfucking bastards.
