The Trump / Pence logo with the naughty bits censored:

These guys had basically the same idea I did (I think we were both inspired by the same tweet):

How to do a blockquote on TheMoneyIllusion.com

Hi Scott,

Here's a simplified experiment<blockquote>in blockquoting text</blockquote>to see if it works. 

That seemed to work.

---------------------------------------------

Now if you'd put this string at the top of a post (using your HTML editor, and yes, you must have one in wordpress somewhere):

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">   MathJax.Hub.Config({tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']]}}); </script> <script src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML" type="text/javascript"></script>

Then we could annoy the fuck out of you with formatted mathematics in our comments (e.g. see below).

Reuter's Daily Poll Embed Experiment

I found this real-time updated poll embedded in this RedState post:

Here's it is on the Reuter's site:

 Now let's try embedding it following the instructions on the Reuters site:

Hillary Clinton Visits Port Hueneme, 2016

My niece and her grandmother went to see Hillary Clinton today (June 4, 2016) in Port Hueneme¹. The primary is on June 7th. The local news said she also visited Santa Barbara, but it wasn't a campaign rally: it was a private meeting with a relatively small group at a restaurant called Jill's Place². Here's the local news story about  both events³:

They must have arrived there early because the news story says that a lot of people had to stay outside. She said they were standing about 20 feet from the podium. A couple of her thoughts on the event:

"...it was awesome! We had a great view! ... It was really exciting!"

And some pictures she texted me:

[1] Really it was at Hueneme High School, which is actually just outside Port Hueneme's city limits in Oxnard.
[2] A restaurant I've been to at least once myself.
[3] Unfortunately my niece couldn't find herself or her grandmother in the crowd on that video.
