Good morning fine Crasstalkers. I know you may feel a bit out of sorts by the changes, but please give this a try because we think you will like the new design. Courage.
Please see the post from our fearless leader for more information about the redesign. We hope that we are making you look as fancy as you all deserve. While no news on Crasstalk is as important as what is happening on Crasstalk, here are a couple of stories from overnight.
President Obama has proposed a budget with $1.1 trillion in cuts and savings. This sets the stage for a battle with Congressional Republicans who would like to see an even smaller deficit. This should be productive.
Indy band Arcade Fire pulled an upset at the Grammy Awards and took home the award for Best Album beating out favorites Eminem and Lady Gaga. This proves once again that Canadians are just better than us.
Since it’s Valentine’s Day Michelle Obama has some romance tips for you. Since I will be dying alone I will go ahead and ignore her advice.
Anyway, please give the new layout a chance. Play around with it and let us know if you run into issues. It is an honor to serve with you all as always.
