People are unable to pay attention to one thing for long, are hyperactive (clicking on different things quickly, jumping from page to page), and impulsivity (ooh, I'll click on this! oh no wait, I'll click on this!!). TFPolitics is not for the weak minded or the impulsive, inattentive, hyper web-surfer. This automatically weeds out a lot of people. Also, TFPolitics tends to bring out very, very strong emotions. I've sat at the computer typing for hours, staring down my screen, trying to put my million and one thoughts down on the page. I've gotten really mad. I've felt the joy of success and learning, and I've felt the pain of being proven wrong or meeting my antagonist in literary combat. That takes dedication, energy, and stamina.

I, for one, welcome the reintroduction of boobies into the world of politics if it will reinject (pun intended) new life into this forum. Ah, the halycon days of Janet Jackson, Monica Lewinsky and pictures of Ann Coulter giving a statue of Ronald McDonald a blowjob. Today the only spice is whether or not the latest head of the Moral Majority got a hummer from an inter-racial tranny. Maybe we could accelerate host and Bobby towards each other at speeds approaching the speed of light and end up with a supermember who intersperces diatribes on the economics of global warming effects on trout fishing guides in Western Montana with pictures of K-Fed banging Britney.
It's just an idea, and I don't have a spare particle accelerator around. Then again, maybe I'm the problem, not the solution.
