... Joshua Holland, AlterNet. Posted September 20, 2008. If you've been on an emotional roller coaster, you might want to disembark. There was a lot of talk last week about John McCain's "momentum" -- about the Republican brand rebounding. And a dark cloud of gloom descended over many of those hoping to bring an end to the Bush era. "We've seen this before," was a common sentiment.

The only thing here I found bothersome was having C-j bound to `eval-print-last-sexp', but I just rebound it to `newline-and-indent'. * The ?*scratch*? ?buffer? is a intrusive idiosyncrasy. It is persistent, cannot be closed (it regenerates). It is foreign to all programers. This idiosyncrasy is the first thing ...

What the PPP and the government are doing is basically suckering them all in -- at least, in Vegas, there are rules and regulations to be followed. Mike If you are still in the market the bottam is not yet here and once reached, there is no assurance it will every have a significant rebound. mitch

Yeah, I mentioned at the top that I tried that (and went to clean systems elsewhere without my .emacs and so forth and tried it, too). No, whatever is happening, it's happening in the midst of the program that's calling this function, I guess. I don't ...

... must be rebinding something else in a bad way, but heck if I know how. I'm going to try to trim the whole problem down to a bare minimum test case and then if I can't figure it out I'll post the whole thing and ask people to eval and see what they can come up with. Thanks for your time. Charlie To check if you've rebound a function, try running emacs without the init file (emacs -q) and see if that changes this behavior.
