Diaries

Probably my last Daily Kos diary. “The Sorry State of The Daily Kos Front Page - A Statistical Analysis”

Rather than writing another post about Markos’ ridiculous authoritarian decree to line up behind the establishment, I decided to write about the other major problem with that site. It’s a breakdown showing just how much of the front page is filled with Trump and other “dumb stuff a Republican said” posts and how little of it is about electing more and better Democrats. If Markos reads it, he should feel ashamed, but I think he’s beyond shame at this point.

Dear Republican Establishment

I'm coming to help you out here, you freaking maniac wingnuts. Only because I hate to see suffering, even amongst my enemies. Here's what you do. Tell Donald you will support him IF he picks a VP acceptable to you. Then, should il Duce II actually get elected, IMPEACH him! I know you folks are chomping at the bit to impeach Hillary, so this could be your fallback position should you not get THAT chance. You can still impeach someone! Big win for you, small win for your opposition.

How to serve satirist - a modest proposal

One of the great losses to Ireland was the loss of Brewhon law and the Bards. The person of the bard was inviolate and their satire of the nobility was powerful. Intimidation or harm of a bard was considered one of the severest transgressions, attaching great shame. The bards and their satire in concert with the Brehon legal system was a very effective break on the abuses of feudalism.

Let those who own the country, who are howling for and profiting

Bernie's YUUGE rally in Salt Lake City yesterday

Could not find an open thread this morning, so please excuse this video post. Bernie Sanders spoke to an estimated 14,000 supporters yesterday afternoon in Salt Lake City, Utah (the reporter on KSL-TV News guessed 10,000, but the more accurate number came from the staff at This is The Place Heritage Park).

A Quickie for Tricia

No, not that kind of quickie. I have to work today, so can't stay long.

But for those of you who haven't heard, Daily Kos' beloved Pootie Queen, triciawyse, passed away about a week ago from complications from pancreatitis. She was in her 40s.

Her funeral/memorial service began this morning at 10 AM, as did our memorial service over on DKos. Her family will be reading that diary later.
