We have some great commenters here on Hair Balls, and it’s time we paid some damn attention to them.

So we’ll be highlighting a Comment of the Day each morning, from the previous day’s work. Maybe two comments, even.

This will all be determined by a highly rigorous scientific formula involving wit, clarity and whatever else we feel like at the moment.

Yesterday, we wrote about some political mud slinging going on over in West University with accusations of drunken behavior flying like green beer on St. Patrick’s Day. One of the candidates’ tuba-playing ability was appreciated by a commenter.
