I do appreciate that.

But I'm really interested in resources so easy as to seduce the blogger to whom all of that would be Greek.

I am interested, and would like to find others who are interested, in finding modest ways to make the electorate more rational, which I think is really in our best interest -- not just to make ourselves super-rational Bayesian black belts and all that, as valid a pursuit as that is.

I think just a really excellent searchable quotebank for politicians, eventually with some degree of easy cross-referencing or easy "find similar quotes" would be the place to start.

But how much that really elevates discourse is debatable.
