Yes, it's true. An anonymous member contributed the following anthem, which the DK community immediately embraced with the kind of enthusiasm a swarm of flies might show when discovering a fresh new pile of dog leavings.

There was in fact some discussion about having the song play automatically whenever anyone logged onto the site, but the Great and Powerful Kos, with his customary modesty, nixed the idea, saying: "I don't want it to seem like it's all about me, when really it's always been about you guys, and what you contribute." Whether Kos was referring to contributions to political discourse, or to his bank account, was not immediately clear.

At any rate, without further ado:

Song of Daily Kos

Kosland, Kosland über alles,
Greatest blog that ever was.
We humbly salute our leader,
The wise, astute and brilliant Kos.
All the world knows of our mission,
Electing neo-liberal Dems.
We now accept our marching orders,
No comity 'twixt Us and Them.

From the most prolific poster,
To the humblest lurking Mom.
All shall bravely man their keyboards,
Till our war is finally won.
We shall brook no opposition,
Not from woman, child or man.
Doubter, please get with the program,
Lest your sorry ass gets banned.

We shall purge all non-believers,
The skull and bones will be their shame.
And if the Chosen One's defeated,
We will know just who to blame.
We humbly bow before our Leader,
Let us hail the Mighty Kos!
Kosland, Kosland über alles,
Greatest blog that ever was.
