Many blogs do a caption contest every Friday wherein the blogger posts a picture and then visitors leave their take on an appropriate and funny caption for that photo. I really enjoy contributing to those sorts of things, but it doesn’t seem appropriate for TNC so how about a comment contest on Fridays. We select an article—nothing too lengthy—and you supply a comment analyzing it. Our commenters thus far have been exceedingly insightful so I’ll be most interested to read your take. Winner gets a free RSS subscription to TNC!

You’re going to make me read Krugman? Then don’t you DARE ever call waterboarding torture!

I guess the last couple comment contests have been tests of will and intestinal fortitude. I’ll try to pick something less odious next week. I guess this week try to keep your lunch down and give it your best shot.

Maybe Krugman will stop polluting the national psyche if we refer him to sources which he probably feels are worth listening to.
“Democracy is a form of government that cannot long survive, for as soon as the people learn that they have a voice in the fiscal policies of the government, they will move to vote for themselves all the money in the treasury, and bankrupt the nation.” — Karl Marx
