Update: No Triad on Thursday because I’ll be off doing Old Person Stuff. Should be back in the saddle on Friday.

Also: I was extremely pleased with the comments section yesterday. I went out on a limb with a high-concept idea that I don’t even necessarily believe and you guys had a smart, serious discussion about it—with close to 900 comments, almost all of which were substantive.

Every day you show what a healthy political community can look like here and I’m grateful to all of you for it. Thanks.
