Comments now being moderated?
Not cool David.
10:36, get with the program - comments have been moderated here for months.
11:09, sure they have been moderated ex-post, but I hadn't ever noticed anything ex-ante before.
Maybe it was just b/c I used a url (for the Sunstein story). In that case it would make sense after some of the junk urls that people had been putting in the comments as of late.
I will not let elections get in the way of my bid to become president!
Maybe Cuba can now regain is lustre of the days when good prostitutes and casino gambling flourished- Cuba to Hookers and Blackjack!
