When they are all sitting around the table it’s hard to tell a business pundit versus a reporter.

He’s doing a better job already. Over the last month, Morgan Tsvangirai’s leadership, even in the face of an opposition government that’s been heading him off at every single pass and has kept one of his top aides in jail, has been graceful and offers real change. Much like the optimism that surrounded Barack Obama’s recent campaign, Tsvangirai represents change for Zimbabwe. And it’s showing. Keep fighting, Morgan. All eyes are on you. source

Regarding the car crash … There’s widespread belief that the recent crash that killed Tsvangirai’s wife Susan was premeditated. May we just say, while there’s no evidence of foul play yet in the recent car crash, if there was, may Robert Mugabe hang his head in shame. The world has had enough of your poor leadership – which is making others suffer for your personal gain – and we won’t let you get away with it again. All eyes are on you. source
Ultimately, we need a spot for opinion. We’ve been wavering back and forth on this for a while, and while we do a pretty good job covering the news, there are some pretty smart things being said by columnists and bloggers worldwide that should get their due, too. And when we have an opinion – left or right – we should have a spot for it, too. Someone actually asked about this a couple weeks ago, and we didn’t have a good reason why we didn’t. Seems necessary in this day and age. Like it? Dislike it? Post your opinion here.
If you can wipe me out in a debate … do you realize you will own the United States of America? You will have no opposition.
Rush Limbaugh • Who apparently wants fewer than 11% of people under 40 to have a positive opinion of him. The White House, understandably, had no comment. • source
What we like The header font is a nice, cool slab serif, and you know how we feel about dotted lines here at ShortFormBlog. This is one of our favorite Web sites, and we want to see it do well, so we’ll visit it anyway, but … source

What we don’t like Too much freakin’ white space in all the wrong spots. The previous design felt very efficient in its usage of white space and its bold use of images. Here, the images are smaller and less meaningful, the page is far too vertical, and it just feels like there’s a heck of a lot of wasted air. To put it simply, it feels unfinished. Agree, disagree?
