This is so exciting!

Good people are drifting in…let’s bring the member list to 10,000 soon! How can we make it more exciting? I know…let’s release our resident troll! Everybody loves a good fight!

O Hillary!

O Hillary, O Hillary
Thy servant I shall always be
O Hillary, O Hillary
I'll sing thy praise when on TV
On DailyKos, my humble blog,
For thee I'll toil and sweat and slog;
O Hillary, O Hillary
I pledge my sacred troth to thee.
