Hey everyone. Tonight is a group effort, consisting of the Top Commenter-types (when
Meteor Blades isn't possessing us and making us grow mojo, we do discuss comment-related stuff), and the rest of you people. That's right you! We've got a few from each commenteer, then the top mojo-rific ones, then a sexy poll. Beyond that, we want to focus on what you all have. What comments rule? What comments drool (wait, there's a section of the site for that...) What comments make you completely indifferent?
So, enjoy. Also, the poll tonight is in reaction to a realization I have had. Let's face it people, our favorite fake news show, "The Daily Show", is losing people. Colbert's doing his show, Nate Corddry's off on NBC, Rob's off to Fox with a sitcom, Carell left for "The Office", and now has stolen Ed Helms. Furthermore, SNL's losing Tina Fey, so the fake news genre is ever changing. So yeah.
First, to show the extreme groupiness of this whole thing, both va dare and I found this one to be particularly good.
RickBoston, from pastordan's diary.
Now, onto the single-malt comments.
va dare gives us these gems:
kestrel9000 offers up a great cartoon on the diary 'We care, Joe, we profoundly care, that's why you must go'
Carnacki takes an in-family joke and turns it onto Rumsfeld:
jiacinto's analysis of the most vulnerable Senate seats:
Buckeye Hamburger on the 'generosity' of DKos to newcomers:
gloriana adds these:
lipris has this to say about the prospect of net neutrality in the hands of Ted Stevens
smugbug starts this thread about the loss of innocence
nellieh responds to DarkSyde's link regarding a parrot that speaks 400 words with this comment
GreyHawk muses on seasons. A well-written bit of prose.
Carnacki offers up these candidates:
lipris gives us
a photo of Meteor Blades
speaking of Meteor Blades
DWG gives us
Bush's radio address
BeninSC continues the comment love:
Little, writing a snark-filled comment on the futility of doing a comment-length diary on an open letter to dKos (whoever that is) about energy wasted on Lamont-Lieberman.
Did you ever see Michael Myers on Inside the Actor's Studio? This comment from litigatormom reminded me of an imitation he did,
wherein he said: And then they ate poop.
niteskolar's substantive tip jar in the diary in response to a conservative African-American apologist.
clammyc's tip jar comment to dubya in clammy's diary about Bush's cowardess, expressed through his irresistable inclination to clear brush.
Mi Corazon argues for a broader view of human beings in rserven's welcome back diary on the critical thinking workshops she attended last week. (WB, Robyn!) Please spend a few moments in that diary, too! ;-)
Friend of the court speaks about a first foray into the inner sanctum of mom's purse following her death, in Cronesense's next fine diary installment on purses.
And here's the stuff I found:
distributorcap gives us a fascinating picture of the right-wing mindset.
marjo offers us wisdom from one of the survey answer possibilities.
upperleftedge gives some love to SusanG's work.
