    Changes ahead for Daily News website

    Our website, adn.com, gets a makeover this week -- one we believe readers will find visually pleasing and easier to use. The changes, though, are more than cosmetic. In addition to a cleaner look, pages will load faster and it will be easier for readers to find what they're looking for.

    Polls have the veracity of fill-in refs in the NFL

    It was excruciating. The blazing lights. The frenzied, screaming crowd. The fourth-and-forever football spiraling into history with eight seconds tick-ticking off the clock. Huge men hurling themselves into the air in the corner of the end zone, crashing into one another, fighting, jostling, ...

    You could, I suppose, be more clumsy with the truth than Mitt Romney was during an unguarded moment at a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser in May, but it would be difficult. Guys coming home at 2 a.m. reeking of booze and cheap perfume have fared better.

    Romney out of touch with country

    A persistent mantra of the libertarian right is "restoring America," implying that an earlier America did not rely on government and scorned those who did as failures at best, inadequate at least. Historically, that America never existed; nor was it imagined by the founders.
