You know, small and manageable problems like that.

This week also brought even more squabbling between Republicans and Democrats in Congress over the national budget, as well as the return of Mitt Romney to the presidential campaign trail. Does he pose a real threat to other would-be GOP contenders—or to President Obama for that matter? Find out by listening to the show below.  —KA

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.
