Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

by Mark Silva and Frank James

Welcome to the new Swamp.

We have started with a new logo, as pictured above, which we hope will be as memorable as the thousands of postings — and the nearly 190,000 readers’ comments — which have appeared on these e-pages since the inception of The Swamp in January 2006.

And we’ll be introducing a broader offering of insight into the world of national politics and government in the months ahead. But for now, we are settling in to a new visual environment.

Thank you, to all, who have brought us here.

And, as with everything else that appears here in The Swamp, we hope you’ll offer your comments.
