One of the most impressive things about YOU, fellow Kossaks, is the breadth of knowledge YOU have accumulated. Smarts spanning from aardvarks to Zymurgy. If you ask a question on Dkos, ANY question, it WILL be answered`at the very least with a link or a clue!
The Daily Kos is truly a cornucopia of information. So much so that it can be like Sipping from a firehose ! I don't want to try to tell you how to use it!!! So here is Not buhdydharma's New User's Guide to dKos! The best guide to Dkos ever written IMHO! And for a list of GOOD series on Dkos have a look at part of the FAQ Yes dkos is Wunnerful and with these few extra gems of wisdom in hand, you may peruse its pulchritude at your pleasure!
Any Questions?
What? Still?
PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS IS A COOPERATIVE EFFORT!!! MAKE SURE YOU TRY TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS WHILE YOU ARE HERE!!!
BTW 42 is NOT the meaning of life, my favorite color is blue, no, green (I'm still here!), and tying fruit of any kind to swallows is indicative of a very peculiar and rare psychosexual disease....seek help! While speculating on the airspeed of UNLADEN swallows is a far milder form....I still urge you to examine your soul! For those who have no idea what I am talking about I urge YOU to ...Ask A Kossak!
WARNING: Blatant, unapologetic self-promotion ahead
Howdy Folks! I'm back!
Before we get to tonight's frivolous hilarity and querying, I would like to heap piles of purple praise on ek hornbeck for doing SUCH a great job of filling in while I rearranged the furniture of my life. But they were out of purple at the praise store and he doesn't really go in for that sort of thing...I believe he prefers cash.
And there is no chance of THAT happening.....so I will just say sincerely....
Thank You ek! You did a great job, I very much appreciate it.
Now then, on to the juicy stuff! OF COURSE I am going to talk about the new blog in town: Docudharma! If you happen to have missed it here is the announcement diarythat gives a small overview.
The response has been HUGE and we are all a bit overwhelmed, but things are going great! Armando has even kicked up a major fuss already and sent teh blog into a tizzy! Our first official kerfuffle, shistorm.....and as a bonus a couple of GBCW threats!
Of course there has also been an AMAZING amounts of simply great essays and fantastic conversations. With the folks we have posting there, that goes without saying.....but we all know that folks like drama, so as Bill Murray said....we've got that going for us, which is good. The drama....or as we like to call it, dharma, has pretty much been in the spirit we are trying to foster, good honest conversation with no punches pulled.....but done in a way that is not intended to harm each other. So far it has been a grand and glorious and fun experiment, and it goes without saying that you are all invited.
Now some folks here (and I can name a bunch of them off the top of my head!) are doubtless muttering to themselves at this point something along the lines of...
"How dare he come here and plug his blog and try to steal readers from dkos and mutter, mutter, mutter, etc, etc, etc. So in the spirit of Docudharma, instead of shying dishonestly away from controversy and pretending it doesn't exist.....let's talk about it openly and honestly!
