Redesign, day 2
The syndicate that provided the feature to us, decided rather abruptly a week or so ago to stop carrying it, and unable to find an alternative source, features editor Pia Hansen opted to drop it. Amid the uproar, Hansen looked more closely and discovered that one of our other syndicate services does carry the Jumble, and we'll resume publication tomorrow. Oh, and we also redesigned the whole newspaper What we haven't heard this morning is complaints about the newly redesigned Spokesman-Review. There was some talk on the Mark Fuhrman show about it this morning, including a complaint from Fuhrman himself that we "never" have Iraq news in the paper. There were some issues with the press run - some readers reported "bleedthrough" (when wet ink from one page blots onto another, making the page unreadable) and other legibility issues.

It's one of the few really smart moves that democrats have made to stick to an extremely broad definition of middle class when discussiong their tax policies, so as to include these folks in the "middle class tax relief" group rather than the "make the rich pay their share" group. And it obviously works. Especially when the republican focus on (less affluent) values voters forces them away from their traditional economic policies. moodyguppy re-examines conventional wisdom on wealth, political affiliation, and the Bush tax cuts: Some people, "high income people" who make six or seven figures, may have benefited from tax cuts.
