For those that might have missed it, the Meister has laid it down, in a new and exciting update.
Here.

Here is a video summary for those that do not care to wade through the written mire.
I particularly enjoy the "not eating flesh" part....

No click-through, sorry. Makes my bp and bile rise.

You didn't like my video selection?
Now I feel bad....
Prof: Nancy! I’m going to Greece!
Nancy: And swim the English Channel?
Prof: No. No. To ancient Greece where burning Sapho stood beside the wine dark sea. Wa de do da! Nancy, I’ve invented a time machine!
Firesign Theater
Stop the War!
I haven't been to that site in some time, but I did click
through and was rewarded with this delusional gem.
ROFLMAO TTCP!
I guess silencing all dissent and living in a bubble would be harmonious to some.
The delusion is strong with that bunch...
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
Well, they feel good about themselves.
Simple minds, simple pleasures, simple lives. So there's that.
It was also my bedtime story!
I laughed like hell when I read that one of the sites purpose is to support progressive ideas.
Is it possible that TOP now supports progressive ideas? Ancient American Progressive Voters say the answer is not just no, but a resounding no!!!
I've been watching too much Ancient Aliens! Missed that show and never heard of it. I'm now in the process of watching season 6 and I'm now seeing aliens everywhere I go, and one dude with really weird hair. TOP is filled with them. They're certainly not Grey's, as they have no intelligence. And they're by no means giants over there. I'm pretty sure they're the reptilians that crawled out from under a rock. Shape shifting and all that!!

Burning heretics will do that.

I do not want to smell the smell of burning heretics,
especially since I seem to be one! Think how the city square in Rouen smelled after Jeanne D'Arc burned.

Ah, very exciting

Sorry, I refuse to take anything at TOP seriously.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
I just have to ask
So you think this Essay is taking ToP seriously?
"The Island of Dr. Moreau"?
Really?
Prof: Nancy! I’m going to Greece!
Nancy: And swim the English Channel?
Prof: No. No. To ancient Greece where burning Sapho stood beside the wine dark sea. Wa de do da! Nancy, I’ve invented a time machine!
Firesign Theater
Stop the War!
No, I was trying to back up the ridicule...
The song is also a Moreau reference.
Apologies, intent and perception of intent can sometimes completely miss each other in the dark of the internet.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
I count myself lucky to have seen O-B live 2ce and it was
before Danny E. discovered the money to be made from movies. They got after it and they were good shows.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
I heard they were wonderful...
Best live shows I've seen were "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" in 1998, and "Bowling For Soup" last year.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
It was outdoors in a street fair setting and it was when the
band had its fullest complement and there were even two bass marimbas for Danny and another to play on occasion.
Their PA system was very good but stressed. Elfman was intense and in good voice. I saw the two shows the same weekend and I think they had 3 albums out. It was before Weird Science was issued so it was more punk influenced.
I've seen quite a few shows like The Kinks, Blue Oyster Cult, Pat Benatar(wow! what a sound system she had) and the like and O-B had every bit of stage presence and excellent ensemble playing as anyone. I think they qualify as wonderful - in my mind they were. Of the singer/songwriter genre only Buffy Sainte-Marie had a comparable band. Dylan was far behind the ones I've mentioned.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
I think one of the best live shows I have ever seen was when
I caught Rush in Sacramento in like '92 or '93?
They are not my favorite band, or even style of music, but the AMOUNT of amazing sound just those three guys could perform was amazing to behold.
Watching Geddy Lee play a guitar with one hand. a keyboard with another while blowing into a harmonica was pretty damn impressive to behold.
My probably all time favorite show though was also in Sac, Fear Factory opening up for White Zombie.
It's kinda of a toss up though between several, The Police in Atlantic City in '83 was pretty awesome as well as Metallica in Philly in '85.
Damn, now that I think about it I have been to a shitload (that's metric right?) of concerts, lol!
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
I saw them
on Halloween Night at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater. Best show I've ever seen!
Righteous track. Thank you!
Danny Elfman rawks. Loved seeing those guys live...
No surprises there
Not even sure anything has changed, so why did Kos bother posting it?
Shorter Kos: "Only Dem Propaganda allowed. Take your free speech elsewhere".
And if they really want a "more progressive Democratic Party", why in gawds name are they pimping a Wall St/MIC Whore?
Donnie The #ShitHole Douchebag. Fake Friend to the Working Class. Real Asshole.
Better/progressive is just lip service.
They're clearly just in it for the more Democrats part.

But their idea of a Democrat
is my idea of a Nixon or Reagan Republican.
There is no such thing as TMI. It can always be held in reserve for extortion.
I agree and I think that's why they should allow discussion of
other progressive candidates. A threat from the left could push the Dems back to the left in order not to lose those voters. IOW, better Democrats. But apparently they don't care any more. Not our Web site now.

For those of us allowed OT,
we could go over an threaten to not vote? Or would that be bannable now?

They say that advocating for not voting is prohibited; if you
just stated you were not voting you might get away with it. But why? I'd much rather be sure to stick around to say, "I told you she was terrible" after the election. But to each their own!

I am a declared Green, so I'm comfortable with that choice.

Really???
Are we interested in what he has to say? Or, should I ask - WHO is interested in what he has to say? I, for one, am not.
I haven't been over there in a couple of months and don't intend to join the other sheeple drinking the proverbial kool-aid. I'm perfectly happy here.

RA, You're missing the point! LOL!
Humor is good for the soul! I happen to glance over there last night looking to see something that would make me laugh before I went to bed. And there it was, my bedtime story! I couldn't resist, I had to click it.
I've never read such pie in the sky nonsense from that fool in the past. This one was truly vomit inducing while at the same time giving lots of laugh. Some things I learned from the post... TOP is all about progressive values. It's one of the primary concerns. I can't figure out how censorship is progressive, but who knows maybe it's written in the fine print somewhere. And then there is the insight of the aftermath of the primaries. They were just terrible you know! But now, with the sun rising in the east again and setting in the west, the primaries over and the general election underway, we have all united!! All is harmonious, we love each other and can't wait for Hillary to
stealwin the presidency! Kumbaya it is baby!!!So after reading the delusional ideas of a dictator and a repeat of his legal proclamations, I sat pondering the obvious question. Marcos, dude, why are you writing this? So I went over to Quantcast to check his website numbers and as much as I suspected, now that the conventions are over, his numbers are crashing again!! And just a week ago he was blowing his horn on how participation was back up and exceeding pre-Ides of March levels. Hey Markos, shit happens!!
Now I admit that I was almost tempted to sign in, something I haven't done in months, to leave him a simple message... "Hey Markos, Fuck You!!", but I'm saving myself for a much more glorious and lengthy departure. And then I went to bed, and slept soundly with a smile on my face.

You state it so eloquently, reflections...
wistful, almost.
Ok, I do appreciate your descriptive comment. I can enjoy it through your eyes.

Sorry, I couldn't go there
Sorry, I couldn't go there either. Totally not up to it...
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Need a secretary and an index just to keep track
He really changed nothing. Just added a lot of blah, blah in an attempt to clarify blah, blah, blah. His bottom line? If you don't agree with the party line whatever it is whenever it is, you are not a Democrat.
Forget all the other rules, this is enough to keep the place derailed.
He and the bots left there are all full of it.

He lost me at "This is a site for Democrats."
Swearing unconditional allegiance to a party, especially one that is selling dynastic sociopathic servants of oligarchy packaged as 'progressives', is not for me.

Democrats
ain't what they used to be.
“We may not be able to change the system, but we can make the system irrelevant in our lives and in the lives of those around us.”—John Beckett
Not just for Democrats -
Democrats who can't criticize the party because any and all criticism is a rw attack even when it isn't, or when it is and they are right. The site is a place for mindless trolls who are good little paid and unpaid soldiers for the party. At least they no longer claim to be progressive or not brain dead.

I went "there" out of sheer boredom
and read it last evening.
It is now pure propaganda.
My opinion of the front page writers could not be lower.
A giant media outlet bought and paid for by Clinton or someone who is part of her machine.

I occasionally go there...
...just so I can Recommend a diary that everyone else has blasted and no one has yet recommended. Usually they're the ones that praise Jill Stein, criticize the DNC, or question Hillary's intentions.
I read through the new "rules," and sure enough, there's a warning about Rec'ing diaries that break the other rules. So far I haven't received any warnings, but seriously, what are they going to do to me? I don't comment, just hit Rec. (In fact, I haven't been able to comment for months (since way before the dark days of March 2016) -- all I've been able to do since the latest version is type a comment, preview it, and then it goes into oblivion. No way to Save or Post.)
Not that I care anymore. I'll just keep Recommending the diaries that I love and that piss them off. It's kind of fun.
All that site proved to me
is that I'm not a Democrat. Thank god.
Dead State and the 'rules' of its owner are beyond inconsequential.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
No kidding.
Between participating in this year's Colorado caucuses (and seeing first hand the manipulation), and the Kos edict: that point was also brought home for me. 40 years and done.
It is very, very rewarding to realize that you are no longer politically beholden to people who wouldn't even piss on you to put you out if they found you on fire...
I heart Dead State, sounds apt.
But I am in an odd mood. Waiting for rain for 2+days.

Ironically that's the name of a Video Game...
About gathering together a group of survivors and working together to build a shelter away from hordes of Zombies.
(Indie Game, and pretty fun.)
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
The death squads and concentration camps of history
were never staffed by rebels and dissidents. They were were run by those who followed the rules.

Of course we have to realize that being a Democrat is not about being liberal or progressive. Kos is nothing but a FAKE LIBERAL and a hypocrite. (Gee, compare his diaries of Clinton in 08 with 15/16, it's like night and day)
