Here’s conservative commentator Dick Morris saying something ridiculous: I’ve got egg on my face. I predicted a Romney landslide and, instead, we ended up with an Obama squeaker. The key reason for my bum...

Let’s get meta. Oh how I love meta discussions about community, community standards, and discontent. Nothing like addressing the ills of an online community to get the blood boiling. We’ve had lots of squabbles,...

Post thoughts here. Lots of small changes. Still more to come. Thanks to Will and Nob and Johanna for all their work, and to everyone who has offered up their advice so far.
