A special John Hughes Memorial Open Thread:

PC Load Letter? What the fuck is that?

Time to put down the manga and pick up the ganja.

Any thoughts on who will emerge to take on Sen. Junkie Einstein (R-SD)?

We’d like to make a special request that the knowledgeable folks who inhabit SSP sign up at the brand-new Race Tracker Wiki and start adding data. (Gubernatorial races in particular need help.) It’s super-easy to do – just click here to create a new account. Follow the on-screen instructions and you’ll be ready in moments. When you find a page which needs candidate data, just click on the “Edit with form” tab that’s at the top of each page. Thanks!

So, what are you doing to celebrate Independence Day?

P.S. A quick reminder that you can follow SSP on Twitter. Also, if you want to receive a daily email of SSP posts, you can sign up using this link.

Remember, if it’s not on SSP, it’s not worth reading.

PS: I’d like to take this opportunity to give a big shout-out to the third graders SSP user bombino for writing a new script that allows our new sortable tables to be sorted by the PVI column. Just check out our most recent House Open Seat Watch to see this radtacular new feature in action. (You may need to hit a hard refresh if the PVI sorting doesn’t seem to work.)

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don’t stand in the doorway

Don’t block up the hall

UPDATE: We’ve added a neat little feature to the site. If you post an HTML table, you can make the columns sortable by putting the phrase class="sortable" in the opening table tag. See our Open Seat Watch for some examples.

Remember, you heard it here first.

P.S. Be sure to check out the new Race Tracker Wiki. More info on it here.

Let’s do this “weekend” thing.
