    Meanwhile in Bush's Birthplace...

    Well, I just spent a little while composing a brilliant letter explaining why the Republicons didn't even field a candidate for mayor in today's election in New Haven, where Dubya was born. The Cons are only even contesting five alderman seats out of 30, and they only have one incumbent alderman. New Haven loathes Bush, and wishes that the rest of this country would realize what we learned when we had to bury his diapers in our landfill.

    However, the letter that I wrote was erased by Salon's submission system. This is the second time I've lost a post. What happens is that you log in, write your letter, and then if you've taken too much time you have to log in again. And voila, your original letter has been lost, and the back arrow can't recover it. This is a dumb-ass system. At the very least, someone who clicks on "Publish my letter" should have their work automatically saved before having to log in again. Until this fix is made (which should take your programmer about 30 minutes), the system is user-unfriendly. Please repair it, Salon.
