Top Comments: oops, I forgot I was supposed to write this edition

We have so many insightful and powerful diaries written here at Daily Kos.  Our diaries inform, inflame, impassion, and even entertain.  We Kossacks have strong voices and an even stronger will to be the change we wish to see in this country.

One of the richest, and perhaps most under-appreciated, areas of thought come in the form of comments attached to these diaries.

Here at Top Comments we strive to recognize and promote the talent of this community by highlighting outstanding comments found throughout the day by the diarist, and through nominations at made at topcomments at gmail dot com by your fellow Kossacks.

These nominations are subjective, and certainly not complete (as no one can read the complete site on a daily basis!). But hopefully they will serve to shine a light where deserved, and to give the reader a good starting point in finding conversation on the site.

Please come in and make yourself at home!   Join us beneath the fold...

I. Um, Oops

So I stepped up to spell the always busy BeninSC for tonight's diary, but I totally forgot about it until like 10 minutes ago. So, this election night, we will have nothin' but comments and mojo (after I finish it).

Sorry I'm late!  :(

II. Tonight's Top Comments

Via Mewkey:

In a response to this comment by droogie6655321, GirlZeo's response resonates with me!

Via noweasels:

dansac on subtitles for Daily Kos in this hilarious comment in reahti's ["I Voted in DC, MD, VA" Open Thread #2 http://www.dailykos.com/...

Via Land of Enchantment:

While much of our traffic goes to the Presidential primary race, diarists like AmericanRiverCanyon track various Congressional races.  I like this comment from MarkInSanFran in the latest on the district John Doolittle is retiring from - early.  Go two parents up for the full effect.

Via madgranny:

Daaaaave and julatten together make a great point.

I believe that this comment by mayan speaks for all of us.

Via annetteboardman:

I thought this was delightful. In Cheers & Jeers, we
were talking about mistaking crockpot soup for "crackpot soup" and
tnichlsn provided a recipe.

Via GOTV:

You may not do candidate comments, but this one by journeyman is good.
