I have discovered that, for nearly a month now, I have been writing what may be the only non-interactive blog in America. You could read it, but you couldn't post a comment. I'm assured that situation has been fixed.

Bruce McLean, the Star's new-media guru, explained that this blog, created years ago and reactivated every campaign season, had a now-ancient template that didn't accommodate our updated comment system. He tells me that work is in progress that will make the comment option not only functional, but more visually appealing.

So to those of you who may have tried to comment and been frustrated in the attempt, please try again. There's nothing a reporter likes less than "no comment."
