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.

We need to keep one step ahead of them Islamo terrarists! I can already see a way around them TSA screwtiny scanners. If I can, they can too—forget cock bombs, the future is rectum bombs!

We must immediately implement the Four Steps of Never Surrender to Terrorism. 1. Drop trou. 2. Drop drawers. 3. Bend over. 4. Spread ‘em.

It’s just like Lieberman (he and Schumer are my heros) says, ya gotta fight tomorrow’s terrarist today!
