January 21, 2009

So TAP took a long and not well-deserved break from its efforts. That all changes - forgive the pun - on January 21, 2009. Why not January 20, 2009, you ask? Well, TAP feels that there must be a brief period of grand theatre absent any critical review, since our political religion necessitates it to renew the faith. However, on the 21st, TAP will begin to take a fresh look at what's working, what's failing, who is keeping their promises, who is breaking them, and in general trying to rise above the fray to ask the fundamental questions that should matter to America, even if there are no good answers. The that end, TAP will summons its many voices to strive to reflect thoughtfulness, divergent opinions, and sharp - but not cutting - humor.

At heart though, TAP holds this truth to be self-evident: ideas matter.
