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.

When I first heard the news of a representative getting shot in the head, I feared for the worst. I never knew anyone could make such a great recovery after getting shot in the head. She truly is a remarkable example for us all, and I wish her all the best.

or both.

Sarah Palin executed her plan exactly as she promissed.  Put Gabriel in the crosshairs and eliminated her from congress.  Pretty scarry if you ask me!!!!

Rep Giffords- a wonderful human being and very smart woman.  Blessed with a
strong man who loves her dearly.  Prayers for a total recovery and future
reelection.
