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.

Oh wait, it gets funnier when McCain and Rove sings Rap:

Iraq, Iraq has been sacked
We killed a ton, but can’t get out
We have no plans, except for oil
We’re here to stay, so what do you say
A vote for me, will guarantee, that
We will be in Iraq indefinitely

We should let our representatives know that we care about such issues as global poverty.  According to the non-profit organization, the Borgen Project, annually it costs $19 billion to feed the world while the United States spends $420 billion on the military alone with $340 billion of that being spent on the Iraq War.

“Hanoi Hilton” was safer than McCain’s Baghdad.

This president says the war can be won, only time will tell, in the mean time there will come a time when the soldiers will be used up, how many times can a person be deployed, of course during WWII a person spent the whole time at war either in Europe or in the Pacific, but this country was at a real war, not a war with people who never attached the United States.

McCain can not win nor can any Republician win the nominiation for president.

The country is against the war and the two years left to Bush will prove that, he is just going to pass the war on, and then the Republicians can find fault if the Democrats are not lucky enough to end the war.
