Does Mudville censor the open posts (beyond language etc.) for ideas? I seemed to have one "drop off" (at 3028). I have added it back in but I am certain it posted then when I checked back it was gone.

Just checking...

We've never censored them, (porn, advertising spam, extreme profanity would earn a deletion though) but 21 is the maximum, after that the oldest entries are replaced by newer ones. It's all automatic. We could up the number, but likely that would result in diminishing returns for any link.

Oh, what a great day it was in Paris! Dreary and drizzly, but lots and lots of American fans of Lance (along with lots of American -- and Texan -- flags waving each time he came around). We had intermittent rain showers for most of the day, but on the last lap the clouds broke, the blue sky came through, and the sun shined brightly. What a day for the "Star Spangled Banner" to be played on the Champs Elysees!

I was proud to be there to see it, and hope that one or two of the many pictures I took as the peloton whizzed by will be good enough to frame.

There is a petition available to sign in order to get a piece of "art" removed from a government office in Calif.

The "art" is a picture of the American Flag being flushed down a toilet with a sign saying this is because of President Bush.

I would appriciate it if you would sign. It should not be in a government office.

The petition is here
