While I agree with BB's positions on issues more often than I don't, and there are certainly many other people using Mudcat below-the-line for their own political purposes, I think that it would be good to have some kind of introduction to articles. This would be in the sense of "did you see this? I think this about it, what do you think?" Otherwise it is only a reprise of stuff on the AP and CNN feeds, which I already see. Referring to them as "Hey there people who are too stupid to find news articles without my help, read THIS" may be slightly unkind.
