  • I like it!

    I've only fiddled with it a little bit today, but so far I really like it. My only complaint is that the links work a little slowly. I have to say though, I don't know what the letter writers are talking about with the Air Force and Army comments... is that because I'm a Premium Subscriber?

  • We NEED to know?

    I'm astonished at what you guys are selecting for 5 Things. It's just tabloid celebrity gossip stuff for the most part. I respect Salon as a source of real news.

    Maybe call this new feature: "5 Fluff News Bits You Might Have A Passing Interest In".

  • Contacting Salon

    Salon doesn't provide a way to contact your writers. I'd like to send something to War Room, but the only thing a person can do is comment on a article. Your Contact and Support page doesn't provide this help. Is Salon reluctant to be contacted? Don't have the bandwidth/time?

    I know this is not on topic, but I could find no other method to submit this info/request to Salon, and that's my point.

    I tried sending email to editor@ and also to info@. Both messages bounced.

  • re: Current 5 Things (not)

    Do you think the fact that some bushwhacker has taken over the courtesan Dupre's myspace page to advertise for anal sex to be one of the top 5 stories that I simply must know about?

    The fact that the above is sponsored by the US Air Force is simply the cherry on top. A little more discretion and deference to intellectual pretense would be appreciated.

  • Tell the truth, Joan...

    You just wanted to use that translucent-popup code that's become ubiquitous and rather trendy.
