This week-end there was a recommended diary by a Bill O' some cute
pun or other.
It was ho-hum, but one thing did pop out.

Bill bemoaned the fact that dKos isn't taken seriously.

I suggested that he look at the responses to my own diary.
It might shed light on why the public could not take dKos seriously.

(The responses in my diary were from "trusted" Kos insiders, posting over and over under different names. Several of my responses were promptly hidden so that the remarks could not be replied to.)

Bill popped back with another handy pun "Later, Trollgaiter."

An hour later, I noticed that he removed my invitation.

To make sure there was no mistake, I posted the link a second time.
That post was also removed.

Later, I will address the issue that my diary focused on. I think
that it is serious.
But for now, here is a sampling of pithy comments from our classy
liberal bloggers:

Go fuck yourself (1+ / 0-)
Go back to powerline, no one wants your vapid crayon-scribblings here

Some liberal.

The only news show on the air without one single woman regular.

Even Fox News has women talent on staff, but not our liberal Daily Show.

That bunch of C-string sillies, and he can't find a woman comedian "up" to that level?

Even Comedy Central, with its huge bias against female talent, let's women appear on its marathons. and some of them are DAMNED funny, and talented.

They'd sure appreciate the exposure and steady income.

But our liberal hero seems to be completely oblivious.

Personally, I don't have the stomach to watch a show of the same "buddy gang" mentality that pervades the TV production industry.

If you would like to see talented women comics make enough to put food on the table, let the Daily Show know it.

ANWR is a non issue.

The environment, forests vanishing, wildlife with no habitat.
The fish that are no longer on menus
because they're nearly gone.

Environmental diaries that are recommended are quickly spirited
away. .

Yesterday, the senate voted for drilling in ANWR.

Not a word about it in the main dKos editorials, one diary
appeared and disappeared as quickly as a March snowflake.

On Ohbermann, only coverage on Oddball - taking a poke
at environmentalists.

It's all very hush hush.

That makes people who value America's outdoors a splinter group..

A splinter group in search of a party that is not afraid to back
its constituency.

I'm going to go independent, or maybe try out green.

In my mind, I see democrats as sissies in suits. dandruff on their
grey shoulders, bad breath, muscles soft from lack of exercise.
Afraid. Very afraid.

What happened to that other recommended diary on ANWR?

http://www.dailykos.com/...

It was here for a few moments today, and now it's vanished.

It seems the environmental diaries are removed from recommended almost as soon as they appear.

Tonight the senate votes on this sensitive and critically important
bit of heaven on earth.

Not a word on tonight's news, or on DK, or anywhere.

In fact, Keith Ohbermann satirized environmentalists on tonight's Oddball.

Last week, the biggest oil spill in Alaskan history, and not a peep about it anywhere.

Maybe someone can explain why this is being kept a non-issue?

YOU STINK, ABC

What is it about these morning show meat puppets?
They're falling all over themselves to cater to wingtards.

What do you bet, Diane Sawyer hasn't had the benefit of a
safe abortion?

Yet here she is, with her freshly brushed, good morning
caps, screwing over other women without giving it a second
thought.

Below is a letter from Kim Gandy, NOW president to Sawyer: Read More

You won't even hear about it on Keith Olbermann.

It's a non issue.

It doesn't exist.

Even the most sanctamonious of bloviators look the other way at its mention.

In case you're still reading, a serioius pipeline leak was just discovered at a caribou migration site on the snow-covered tundra of Alaska's North Slope.

Let them know how we appreciate the president they have given us.

Thank them for what their simple-minded take on
life has done for our country.

I guess this is being mean spirited. Because all they're trying
to do is save us from going to hell. Not realizing that what they've
really accomplished is creating hell on earth.

Jon Stewart ON NOW!

Don't forget to tune into Jon Stewart, hosting
the Acadamy Awards in minutes.

He'll be funny as hell, and he's our guy.

He's probably been doing a lot of rehearsing
judging from the number of re-runs lately!

Oh shit. Was he funny, or what?

This was absolutely the best Oscar opening
I've seen in my lifetime.

Bush gives Nukes to India

Here's the gist: "President Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India announced here on Thursday what Mr. Bush called a "historic" nuclear pact that would help India satisfy its enormous civilian energy needs while allowing it to continue to develop nuclear weapons."

On a side note, Paul Krugman had a -brilliant- piece in last week's NYT.
One of the best I've read.
It didn't seem to get notice here, for some reason.
I will post details over the week-end when I have time.

If the subject of the link has been covered, please let me
know and I will try to delete it before the diary nazis go into heart palpitations.

BRAVO BARBARA BOXER !!!!

She was brilliant on Scarborough just now, discussing the
Port issue.
To my shock, Scarborough was in full agreement.

She described the billions that Arabs have invested in
Bush family interests, like the Carlyle Group.

She made the point that Bush claimed he knew nothing
about the Arab Port deal till recently - yet he was adamant
that he would override congressional veto. And how it didn't
make sense that Bush would be so passionate about
something that he had only just learned about.

Interesting and kind of nice to see Scarborough
on the side of reason and the interests of the country.

If this has been duplicated, apologies, and it will be deleted.

JESUS, PEOPLE!!!

With all due respect to the recommended diaries.

Bushco is letting the oil companies FLEECE America.

They are making a windfall, and the country - even with this
insane DEFICIT - is not even making them PAY TAXES.

If I were not working 14 hour days and pulling all nighters
I would have time to pull up the links.

There is our vice president on a holiday outing -
respect to his rich pals takes precedent over "those people"
ie the American Press.

You should be tieing all of this together, already!

I have to go back to work.

CNN Propaganda as usual

The "Situation Room" didn't waste a beat.

In the same breath that they mentioned the Libby/Cheney
update, they announced that the democrats were already
'POLITICIZING' the situation!!!

In fact, more emphasis was on how we are "politicizing"
the DISGUSTING, SLIMEY goings on at Bushco.

Like how dare John Kerry update people who are signed
up to his mailing list.

I was having deja vu back to the Gore/W debate, when
the CNN meat puppets were in beautitude over "how
presidential" the stiff dwarf looked.

Back to work.
