The Clintons' Time Is Up

Your Candidate
I have no idea what Democrats are so incredibly vested in the two candidates we have. Don't people realize that, no matter what they say, both Clinton and Obama are still *just* politicians?Kurt Vonnegut once wrote: There is a tragic...more »

Proper Etiquette
A stylistic note here on the blog. In the future, when you call people "stupid," or "idiots," you must precede these terms with something much more vitriolic and virulent. For example, try "you stupid cock." Or "you fucking idiots."Because simply...more »

Sorry, but I disagree. There's a "print" button on the bottom of every post, and you can print it out, and read it later.
Or, you can bookmark it, and read it later. No killing of trees necessary.
There's no reason to turn the blog format into a sound-bite, or to serialize it, and if someone needs the space to fully develop an idea into a long essay, I say use it.
There's no shortage of pithy blog posts, and while I agree there is sometimes not enough time to read through an essay this lengthy, we also have the capability using these nifty computer things we have to save it for later.

My policy is to recommend any blog post that points out Obama is a secret Muslim. And anything by Sinbad.
And anything about Muppets. Love those furry little guys.
Not enough Muppet blogging, if you ask me.

What Tom's talking about isn't "TPM" as much as "TPM Cafe."
But that's also another really confusing thing, the way you post to TPM Cafe, but you also have to check the box for "Election Central" if you want the post to show up on Election Central.
Or, I would say instead, if you want the post to show on Election Central *and have many more people read it*.
That's part of the problem, that all the Election Central posts by default get posted in the Cafe, but you have to purposefully check the EC box to have it show up over there. That's the main reason why there's so much "noise" in the Cafe -- our posts scroll quickly off the screen, but all the commenters are only looking at the EC posts.
(Does that make sense?)
But you can clearly see the difference in the number of comments a post gets, if it's posted in EC or not. Or, you can just look at the main TPM Cafe page (where people like Reed and AJ post) -- hardly any comments in many, many of those posts, and it's, I guess, because most people go to EC, not TPM Cafe.
(If you check the traffic details from Alexa on TPM, you can see many more people go from TPM to EC than go to Cafe.)
