Even the stuff I don't agree with is interesting and generally well-written. It does indeed deserve our support.

Message, leave home America or else: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/29/AR2010072906367.html?wpisrc=nl_headline "That has left a large share of the area's jobless much like Tiffany: with skills that are no longer in demand here but saddled with mortgages that prevent them from leaving. "I'm sort of in a pickle," Tiffany said with an amused smile before resuming his job search at a computer terminal in the city's One-Stop Employment Center. "I'm stuck in a home that I can't get out of if I wanted to."" Perhaps there's a silver lining in America's lowest mobility rate since WWII.

If I were a rich man, I would give them a couple million dollars. Alas, I'm only a lowly college student, barely scraping by from paycheck to paycheck. Here's to hoping TAC doesn't fold.

One doesn't even have to subscribe to enjoy many of these and other articles from our pages -- we've been as generous as possible with putting material online for all to partake of. But to offset the hit we take for not keeping everything behind a pay firewall, we need support from online donors. <i>TAC</i> has recently become nonprofit, so contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law, as the guys in shiny suits say.

Still, I think the title is a bit confusing for those of us without a political theory background.

I do think the name is a bit of a misnomer, but my household reads leftish to center. And it looks like a good fit to me. What a coincidence–I paid for a subscription yesterday.
