Sorry for our absence yesterday -- we underwent some long-anticipated tech updates which unexpectedly rendered the blog unusable. We're continuing to tweak, so apologies for any errors or oddness over the next few days. Meanwhile, we've had some great pieces up at TAP Online: Robert Kuttner continues his ongoing analysis of the financial meltdown with "The Fed as Enabler". Adele Stan imagines a Newt Gingrich candidacy. Matthew Duss takes a hard look at Giuliani's foreign policy advisors. Sarah Posner offers her weekly peek at what's going on with the religious right. Art Levine examines lax regulation of the pharmaceutical industry. Also, the new October print issue of The American Prospect is up. Consider subscribing today. --The Editors
