New York (Routers) - Daily Kos blogger Rob Cole announced Wednesday he would be suspending his Wednesday diary to focus more attention on the unfolding Wall Street crisis, while encouraging his fellow diarists to do the same.
"It's time for all Kossacks to come together to solve this problem" Cole said, while still encouraging his cohorts to read and recommend his diary over others found on the popular burnt-umber leftist blog.
"This choice has nothing to do with my plummeting visibility on the site, and anyone who suggests it does should be decapitated immediately", Cole responded to questions from his cat and wife.
"I am calling on Markos to consider delaying all future diaries until such time as we can convene a special blogger's convention to address this historic crisis. If however I am called on to diary again, I will do so in the interests of democracy. Provided, of course, that no one else diaries at the same time."
Cole also canceled an appearance on The Rachael Ray Show scheduled for Thursday, and plans to return to Washington to discuss solutions to the economic meltdown at a bar in Adams Morgan.
Calls to his cat were not returned as of this writing.
