Grand New Party co-author and presumed Republican party stalwart Reihan Salam did a talking-head stint today on MSNBC's Road to the White House, hosted by David Gregory. Salam is obviously whip-smart, but he has a disapproving scowl that kicks in when he hears something he doesn't agree with. I'm sorry but he reminded me right away of James Arness in Christian Nyby's The Thing (From Another World) with a little touch of Rex Ingram, the genie from The Thief of Baghdad. A bit like an alien studying humans for signs of weakness.

You want to get a taste of just what kind of arrogant, know-something-ish prick Salam is, read some of his takes on movies. Here's his anti-"Fletch" rant:

I'm not crazy about "Fletch" myself, but really...who gives a shit? The guy's a tool. Nothing less or more.

He's just another conservative victim, picked on by meanie Jeff Wells. If he reads this and cries, it's your fault.

It's persecution, dammit! Persecution!

"Fletch is so abominably bad because it's trying to be a slobs vs. snobs comedy, but all the while, Fletch is the biggest snob of them all."

If you ever need proof of the idiocy of the conservative mindset, read that sentence. There is absolutely no room for any shading whatsoever in any sense.

How could anyone agree with anything that guy says? He's not attractive at all.

I went to college with Reihan. He's a kind and generous human being, and easily one of the two or three most intellectually gifted people it's ever been my privilege to meet. This thread is preposterous and insulting.

Awesome concept. I know a buddy of mine makes use of templates. This stuff is great for if you append rows to a grid or list.

Also, it would probably be great for having some sort of "viewer". You could have a list of documents, and use jQuery to get JSON data, then put the data into the template. Something like viewing invoices or other formatted docs.

Just to be picky too, according to w3schools.com, the "value" tag is deprecated? But I guess it is still technically valid. I like to be "valid" when I can :)
