NICE http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/UnderstandingPolymorphicAssociations Looks like I should be able to do this: q[class Comment true end]q q[class Journal :commentable end...

And it looks like I'll be able to take advantage of Single Table Inheritance for the three similar models (News, Journals, ForumThreads), and at the same time take advantage of the Polymorphic Association with :as => :commentable for all the various models that accept comments.
