New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

Before all these celebrations get out of hand, people should know that the latest reports on Mubarack are that he is hosting a giant party in his seaside palace, with scores of Houris and Belly Dancers wildly dancing, while he parades around the dance floor amongst them, gyrating crazily to the blasting sounds of ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’. Doesn’t sound like a deposed dictator to me ... could he have a back-up plan?

Allahu Akbar! (God is Great!)

Congratulations to the courageous people of Tunisia and Egypt!

Finally, the Egyptians and the Tunisians before them have taught the whole world a lesson in true democracy.

Now, the first order of things is to start the process of extraditing the two evil tyrants, wherever they might try to hide and put them on trial for a certain death sentence, and furthermore, to dig out for their billions of stolen assets deposited in Western banks and return these funds to the people.
