Here's a new thing we're going to try to do, the most popular posts on the blog for this week.

• Our piece on Poythress' salary gimmick was topsies, and about the only thing we did on post-debate coverage. It also sparked a couple of comments; Dustin agrees it's gimmicky, but thinks the voters will probably buy into it. Me, I'm not so sure.
• Johnathan's post on what's next for Beyond the Trestle was a pretty popular one as well. We're working hard to do bring in some new elements, and we hope you'll dig the results.
• And good, old-fashioned politics are always popular too. For example, the piece on Andre's somewhat ham-handed attack on my pal, Rob Teilhet.

More material later today. Until then, go read Johnathan's column on child prostitution and the Christian right, because he nailed it. Then, for lighter fare, watch this.
