Question of the day - holiday spirit edition
Wednesday, Dec 20, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller The State Journal-Register’s online comment section has been a joke for quite a while. They’ve allowed way too many cranks and morons to post and now the place is way out of hand. In frustration, the online editor has announced a stand-down day.
Question 1: Since they didn’t open comments on the declaration, I’ll let people comment here. What do you think of this idea? Question 2: We’ve managed to run off most of the really strange ducks from our blog, but we still get pretty intense in debates. So, would you like to see a similar one-day event like this here? …Let’s add another one. Question 3: Should I delete more of the aggressive-type comments?

No word yet on whether Senator Obama will be endorsing Daley. Meanwhile, Obama’s sister says a decision will be made soon.
