Tuesday, Dec 13 | 9 pm eastern | 6 pm pacific |Virtually Speaking Susie | Susie Madrak and Marcy Wheeler talk about current events and the realities of ordinary life in America. | Listen live and later on BTR

Supreme court watcher Dahlia Lithwick talks with Culture of Truth about the Roberts’ Court systematic limitation on the rights of ordinary citizens to use the courts to redress wrongs done by large corporations and how we are ‘losing the long war’ on a host of important fronts. This is an excerpt from the final minutes of their discussion at Virtually Speaking on December 11, 2011, which can be heard in its entirety here.

Extreme makeover

So! Chris has been up all night working on the site change, and then we’ll be slowly dealing with any new glitches that come up. I hope you like the new header (Ted Rall designed it for me, isn’t it cool? If you look closely, that’s an eviction notice on the front door…)

Anyway, the archives are a lot easier to use now (Chris has been doing the database work for weeks). Now we have to figure out how to get the ad code back in, and I have to get used to the new back end so I can make it do what I want.

If you come across any problems, please leave a note in the comments.

Our new look

Our new site design will go live overnight, so please be patient as we work out any glitches. I hope you like it! Remember, if you want to keep a copy of the girls with guns header, save it now.

Also, please bookmark any of the blogs you follow from the Banter Media blogroll. They won’t be here anymore.

Site maintainance

Two things: Barring any last-minute glitches, we’ll be switching over to the new design sometime this weekend. So if you want to save a copy of the girls with guns header, grab it now. (I think you’ll like the new one just as much. Someone designed it for me, and it’s pretty cool.)

Second, if you use the blogroll links from Banter Media, you need to bookmark your faves or put them in your RSS feed. They won’t be here much longer.
