They could be such a register. They have been in in the past at various times and places. They probably will be again in the U.S.. But they don't register anything now about anything interesting or that we can't know in other ways. I agree with Jerry, which is why I've reduced my reading of LBO to quick peeks at a sampling of posts. Even shag's posts are beginning to be eye-closers.
It's going to be a dreary year for politics and political discussion.
