BW has the courage to return, and his his post appears exemplary enough to be recognized by other expats. On a day when it was surprising to see the Commonwealthcentric TSL permit a lengthy politics (but only occasionally insightful) thread - long heralded as verboten - on the unpleasantness of work by elected buffoons in Richmond. Work done when they were barely fledglings.

But then, that's the national and TSL audience. Unfortunately, the appearance close by of yet another brainless freaking 'wimmiz species' thread by a TSL major contributor all but cancels out the liberal stance by the hosts. Apparently, they not only want, but can have it both ways. It's web privilege, huh?
