The new “abbreviated comment”, and arrow is ALMOST as good as DK4. Now people will have to learn how to attract people to their comments with bolding, or very precise wordage. Same as it always was…

That is all for this transmission. You may continue to talk amongst yourselves.

For the Record, we were right!

Just thought I’ld put this together for a little relaxation. BFSkinner published a blog post today, I found interesting. It had to do with endorsements for candidates.Since I’m a Berniac, and consider him our last hope for this Country, I only checked out his endorsements. How very partisan of me….harumph!

Of course I skipped over all the political endorsements, and went right for the entertainers (don’t forget, I’m just goofin’ off right now).

Numero uno, if Willie’s for him...nuff said.

Then, one of my favorite, lesser known people, jazz guitarist Bill Frissell… He owns a Carr guitar amp which I make leather handles for...big plus in his factor from me!

Charlie Musselwhite, well Damn! Many a night, many a night….

Buckwheat Zydeco, well hey, good lookin’ ...

And the most honest...Ani Difranco

and a Duke! as in Robillard...I found one of his lessons on line, I’ll be practicing tonite

David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Neil Young (don’t know about Stephen)...I almost cut my hair, but I didn’t!

Hope you enjoy my picks.

I spend a lot of time trying to clear the comment reply bubble. I hover over this dot, and that one, I refresh, I go back to see what I missed, and still the numbers remain. DKos5 has given me OCD (no disrespect to those with clinical cases).

I’ve read all the kos, and jason stories, blogs, articles, and I appreciate the reasonings, especially from kos. If he learned to communicate beforehand, as well as he does afterwards, we’ld all be better off. I still read Jason as tone-deaf. Keep workin them bugs, jason. Meanwhile, I’ll just be scrollin’ around trying to find out who I’m replying to.

Instead of reading or commenting, I find myself just mystified. At least I’m writing something, but...

PS: so far I’m not too impressed with the new members all this is supposedly drawing. When reddit commenting looks reasonable, we’re in trouble. You can use the rest of this white space to prove me wrong on newbies...hell, what makes me think, I’m any better, etc….

-just being the cranky yankee that I am, sorry to interrupt your usual programming.

UPDATE: Jumpin jehovah, for a split second this stupid time waster made the rec list. All y’all better up your game...jus sayin’

Congrats on another version of the Daily Kos. I’m sure once everyone has gotten used to the new curtains, and furniture, things will almost be like they used to be.

Things I hate:

1.White space — I’ll have to use f.lux, or browser controls, but I’m not gonna like how things look on other sites...hmmm

2. Font brightness — see above

3. No comment header — Intelligent comment participation WILL take a nose dive. Scroll, scroll, scroll…. Can’t dive into what looks promising. I have to look at ALL the comments! This may be the biggest problem to come, but you already knew that, and still did it..so…

Things I like:

1. All the graphic abilities

2. Forcing me to change..for better or worse

But stranger things have happened.
I've sent my hard earned twenty to Bernie. He gets it. He cares. I would be less of a citizen if I did not support his efforts, and his soon to be contributions to the Democratic Primary Campaign.

His campaign:

I want everyone to be snug and warm for the holidays. And for those that aren't, please let us know, or reach out and give someone a chance to help.
It's been a long, long year in the meagert's household, but we made it this far, and we have each other, which is all that really matters.
Before every diary today wishes you a happy, I thought we just might need an open space. Jump up and down, spill things, no worries, just be merry.
Here's my three favorite Holiday tunes to get things going...

Last night, in Sanford, NC, Police appeared at a man's door, apparently warrant in hand. Within minutes, an African American lay dead.

As is usual in NC, news of any shootings is limited in scope. Apparently, the news organizations can only obtain information directly from the Police nowadays, and they ain't talkin'. Even the reason for the warrant has not emerged, as yet. But indications are that is was for a very minor offense, like missing a hearing.

There's already two versions of the story going around. One says the Police were hunting a robbery suspect. The Family says the victim was a good hard working man not involved in crime whatsoever.

The neighborhood is furious. Why a shooting instead of a Taser? That should be an indication there's a problem out there.

Here's some local links:
ABC
Sanford Herald
WRAL
New link: WNCN

Addendum: Make sure you read the racist comments at the Sanford Herald link!!!

Update: The plot thickens
According to the SBI, the victim was armed. According to the Police he was involved in a shooting. So far the facts are in dispute. Police say they chased him into the house. Family says he was on the phone with a relative, having a conversation already.

Now, Brian's latest news has nothing to do with this diary, today. It just popped into my head as a title.
I never add these meager diaries; lack of content, brief synopsis, and a link type.
But, allow me this just one... I'm bored while I'm waiting to go do errands, and I have about a half hour to spend...so help me to amuse myself for this brief span.
This is actually more of a conundrum, wrapped in an enigma, posing as ironic...news item, that amused me.
So...have at me for my punctuation, spout your view on this, rant, or just use as an open thread.
