Daily Kos guy speaks:
MY GIRLFRIEND JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT ALL MY BOYFRIENDS
My girlfriend doesn't read Daily Kos, and probably never will. She depends on me to tell her what's going on in online news, what actions we need to take, what new ideas are out there, what issues are percolating.... My girlfriend didn't know that I had posted a diary awhile ago and I was too chicken to tell her. (That's how far outside my comfort zone it was!) Well, I told her about a week ago and she was really excited! Even though she's not even an infrequent lurker, she knows Kos. She knows from bits and pieces - from other articles she's read, from things on the radio, and mostly from me and my daily news briefings over dinner. Anyway, she knew it was a big deal. So I showed her my diary and of all things - she cried! (I didn't expect that....) She was moved by the great support of the community, she was moved by my heartfelt Thank You, she was moved by all of the relationships - known or unknown - that Daily Kos has fostered. And she was moved by how far I've come in terms of my own awareness, my own informed citizenry.
In your face, Cheney! Prepare to have your gate crashed, motherfucker!
7 Mewling Pricks
Getting a tad sentimental in your old age, 'Snotty'!
Snotman, I come here for the hate, not for dead links.
Duff: Stick it up yer penis.
Cancer: Link fixed, for your hating pleasure.
That's better! And who better to hate than the simpering, self-regarding twerp your link points to. What a cunt.
I hate to be a "simpering, self-regarding twerp," but what is this fetish with important North American conservatives and creamy jizzings? (Put that in the band/pornstar name file. Maybe an ice-cream flavor?) Seriously, just because someone is able to use an online community to become more politically self-aware doesn't automatically infer that he should buy a bus ticket to D.C. and toss a Molotov cocktail into the Executive Office Building? Or should the summary executions start on this blog's orders? It's always easy to be against something, but what the hell do you stand for? I would assume it exists merely to tell others to piss in their own lemonade.
Pretty much, yes.
