If you send a comment…

…you have to provide a valid email address. We get a LOT of crank/hate mail, and some of what we’ve been getting lately has been downright… weird.

It’s simple: If there’s something we want to clarify with you, and we can’t reach you, that’s the end of the one-sided conversation.

And we don’t publish every comment we get, especially when it sounds threatening, looks like it’s been scratched out by a drunken chicken, or is suspiciously similar to the last three comments that have arrived from different email addresses (all of which bounce when we try to reply to them).

So if you’re going to comment, and you want a reply, or any hope of seeing your comment published (which we are under no obligation to publish at all), you have to supply a valid email address. Purty simple!

We now return you to your regular programming…

I hate to waste space with this kind of administrivia, so I’ll add: Hey, Obama supporters! Stop blaming ABC, George Stephanopolous, Charles Gibson, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Socks Clinton, God, Satan, or John Foster Dulles. Your guy bombed last night. He screws up every time he has to wing it without a script, but last night was absolutely pathetic. The only thing Gibson and Steph did was ask him the same questions the public has been talking about for months — and your guy couldn’t handle it. So suck it up, quit your whining, and think about how crummy you feel after you’ve spent all these months gloating about your Messiah.

(Yeah, I’ll have more to say about the debate later.)
