Earlier today there was a blurb about the new design that appeared near the upper left of your front page. It made it really easy to click through and leave a comment about the design.

Suddenly I can't find a link to this page . (I had to use my "history" function to find it.) It could be because there were too many heated responses for you, or it could be that the link is still there but lost in the cluttered maze.

I was among the first subscribers back when David Talbot was at the helm.

Sorry . . . No more.

. . . and the problem with the old design was . . .?

Take a step back from this out. A Glorious Dawn --it's a music video using clips from Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series with a little from Steven Hawking’s Universe. Jim Boswell, the creator, added his own musical composition and tweaked it all with Auto-Tune. The results are getting major buzz on You Tube.

I'm a little nervous about going to a dinner party this evening where a few guests will be Repubs. I know they are going to be all over this health care thing. Can anybody point me to a site that lists all of the accomplishments Obama has had since taking office. I love the man, but am having some serious trouble finding good answers.

Moms know that when you feed babies from the jar and put the left overs in the fridge, next time you open that jar there is some clear liquid on the top. I found out that it's because digestive enzymes from baby's mouth on the spoon have started digesting the food in the jar.

So, how come every time I open a bottle of Heinz ketchup, I first have to first squeeze out the clear liquid on top? Who's been spitting in my ketchup?

And what is the lead story on Salon?

"BLOCKBUSTER FATIGUE."

My sentiments exactly!!! I've been a Salon member since day one, back in the David Talbot days when this website was truly on the cutting edge of journalistic brilliance. In fact, during the 2000 elections, it was my ONLY source of news, with hourly updates coming directly from the boots on the ground. I simply couldn't trust any other media outlet.

But now . . .with few exceptions, the whole site is in a sorry state. I've been in denial about the fact that I'm just hanging on for sentimental reasons, but after all these years, I won't be renewing when my subscription runs out.

yawn . . . .as if anything will ever come of this.

Concede, but not end? Not end but suspend? What exactly does concede mean in this context? What is she holding out for? And when she urges her supporters to start donating money to Obama's campaign, is it with the thought in mind that there will be more there for him to help her pay her debts?

I was a huge supporter of Bill, no matter what his transgressions. But I'm sorry. There is something about Hillary I just don't trust.

that this decision came from a Court comprised of six out of seven Republican-appointed judges? We all know that the gay marriage issue was one of the horses that the Repubs rode all the way to the White House. But lately, that issue has paled in the light of the economy, the war, etc.

Now in a single ruling, Republican judges have managed to revitalize the wedge. Coincidence? What better way to rally the righties to once again vote against their best interests and the best interest of the country than to poke a gay marriage stick into an old wound. After all, these folks needed a reminder that a few gays committed to loving relationships threaten the very foundation of marriage for the rest of us. (Pay no attention to that 49% heterosexual divorce rate behind the curtain.)

Thanks for the good advice! Time to break out the calculator *and* the pressure cooker!

I wanted to buy dried legumes, but ended up buying a dozen assorted cans of beans at the discount Winco, (along with some really cheap bulk rice) because it takes so long for a pot of soaked beans to cook, I was concerned that in the long run, the cost of electricity to cook them would cost more than nuking the contents of $.033 cans. Am I completely off here? I'd prefer cooking the beans and getting creative, but not sure which is cheaper.

. . I used to be married to the male counterpart of the woman in red. Once he and I were second and third in a long line waiting to see a new movie opening. When the doors finally open, the crowd rushed in and he, the male counterpart of the woman in red, actually elbowed his way in front of the ONE person who was at the head of the pack! I mean, the theater was a sea of empty seats and he . . well, like I just said.

How come nobody has mentioned Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson . . . funny, fresh, adorable, and naughty. He's going to be doing this year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Granted, he wasn't their first choice -- the other guys were either too busy or too afraid, but still. Now that he's a bonafide US citizen, he knows nothing he says will get him booted back to Scotland.
