I'm new to Kos. I suspect there are a lot of new people here. For me it started with Sarah Palin's
baby . Was it her's, yes it was, no it wasn't. All over the Net I searched. For some reason it just
really intriqued me. Imagine, the audicity to pawn your daughters baby off as your own.
It wouldn't be such a big deal, probably done alot, for insurance or personal family reasons.
But not when you are a Governer of a State, and then you are running for VP.
I stumbled upon Kos. Who had the best, most imformative info on this bizzaro story. Well, we
all know where that went. Sarah Palin announces her daughter is 5 months pregnant, and Kos
crashed. But you know, I still think that Trig is Bristol's kid, even if it doesn't matter.
Now she is gonna get $300.000 for the baby pics. But did we ever see one photo of her
pregnant. That is a big fat no....
Shit, sorry I ran on about the exciting lives of the Wassilla Hillbillies. I meant to ask the question,
after that what kept me coming back to Kos. At first I hovered over at Huffington Post, and Kos.
But did you notice at Huffington your comments are always pending. Or at least mine were,
so it just got boring waiting for your comment to turn up.
Plus, at Huiffngton if they got bored, they would write sarcastic peices, but it was kind
of confusing. Almost like the Enquirer, which I actually llke, I mean they get the shit
on people. But even Enquirer could not crack the Trig baby mystery. Just bitch slapped
myself. Stop bringing up that baby! But you know there is one more thing that really bugs
me about the whole baby thing. So Bristol has that baby pretty much right on schedule,
but we never saw her again after they announced her preggers, and the convention,
with daddy to be in tow.
Sooo, what if she actually didn't have a baby at all, and they just scrambled around,
and adopted a baby, from another woman/girl. Now that's crazy thinking, but
come on, Sarah Palin isn't worried about a little thing called the truth.
I am so sorry, I did it again, O.K. O.K. quit clownnig around here. Since it
is a new year and all, well I was just curious, Who does make up the
Kos community. Not just the editors, and the founder, or fellows.
But everyone, all visitors, and diarists, commentors, and reccomenders, and
readers.
here is the Kos reason
ABOUT DAILY KOS
Markos Moulitsas -- a.k.a. "kos" -- created Daily Kos on May 26, 2002, in those dark days when an oppressive and war-crazed administration suppressed all dissent as unpatriotic and treasonous. As a veteran, Moulitsas was offended that the freedoms he pledged his life for were so carelessly being tossed aside by the reckless and destructive Republican administration.
Daily Kos has grown in those five years to the premier political community in the United States, with daily traffic between 2-4 million visits. (Click on the rainbow box at the bottom of the page for up-to-date stats.) Among luminaries posting diaries on the site are President Jimmy Carter, Sen. Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and dozens of other senators, congressmen, and governors. But, even more exciting than that, tens of thousands of regular Americans have used Daily Kos to lend their voice to a political world once the domain of the rich, connected, and powerful.
And Urban Dictionary on Kossack
Kossack
A denizen who frequents the Web site Daily Kos, known for it left-wing activism and its irascible Webmaster Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. Kossacks deride conservative blogs as "hate sites" because of the frank and unapologetic assessment of Islam frequently expressed by commentators.
Conservatives regard Kossacks as among the leading proponents of "leftist fascism," characterized by bullying, dirty tricks, illogical discussions, and an irrational hatred of everything to the right of Noam Chomsky.
The name "Kossack" references the Cossacks, an old spelling of the ethnic group now known as Kazaks. When Russia absorbed Kazakstan into its empire, the Czar used Muslim Kazaks as a special cavalry due to their expert horsemanship and reputation for savage violence. Cossacks often were the perpetrators of horrific pogroms against Jews in Russian territory during the Czarist era
Leftist fascism? Now that's funny. But I just like the people, and not that I always agree
with what everyone is writing about. That is what is so unique about Kos. When people
disagree they back it up with sound arguments. Quotes, Youtube links, original source links,
fully excellent.
I have learned more in the few months here, than any other web site. Now that isn't to say
Wikipedia isn't super excellent, or Google, but it is just reading a diary about a subject I
am not that up on. I feel like I could come to Kos and get all my current events, and they
would for the most part be unbaised and true in their content.
The other thing is the personal stories. Kind of my catagory. I mean you don't have to be
an expert to share a moment of truth. LIke losing your job, your retirement, your pet,
your famly members. It get's personal, and I have cryed over many diaries.
And laughed too, it really feels like a family.
So thanks everyone, and Happy 2009. Just think in 19 days.....
Oh, and to end this diary I have made a poll of who a Koss might be. I couldn't
think of every narrow box, so feel free to add your own in the comments. Oh, I
left off the sex of the poller, fuck it, that just narrows it down too much. I wish
you could have 2 choices, but since you can't...... I didn't want to be redundent, you
know woman 18-25, yadda yadda, to many choices...so little time.
Wait, the year just started. But I am going to try to follow our new POTUS example.
Be prepared, and plan and execute...
2009...It's here...............January 20, 2009...19...and counting down.
