This is only my third attempt at Meta, and I certainly am not 11-dimensional Meta Grandmaster but here goes: What in FSM's name has happened to Daily Kos? We supposedly are a reality-based community and we are all for Democrats, but it seems more and more that this site should be called Daily Obama, where the rec list is all about complaining about Obama, praising Obama or complaining about complaining about Obama. Meanwhile, great candidate diaries fall off the recent list and nobody seems to notice. The whole Obama drama might be worthwhile if it caused some to think and to change their minds, but nobody in the Obama drama diaries gives up an inch. And so it goes on, with nothing ever getting settled.
I have a few ideas on how to stop this site from becoming Daily Obama. We clearly need to give ore attention to candidate diaries and pootie diaries, because nobody fights over Ceiling Cat. And so follow me for more..
In order to cool things down on Daily Kos, I have a few suggestions/ideas.
- For every Obama diary on the rec list, there must be an equal number of pootie diaries. So when we have three Obama diaries on the rec list, we should have titled: Ceiling Cat Swats at BP, Senate Pooties rock and The Great Woozle debate.
- For every Meta diary on Kos or Obama(there have been a lot of these lately), you should recommend at least one candidate diary. Why isn't Rand Paul's contempt for licensing doctors on the rec list? Paul is actually a candidate this year. Obama isn't up for re-election until 2012.
- Instead of complaining about Obama, why not complain about the Senate too? After all, there are about 35 Senate races this year and Daily Kos can have at least an impact on that. There are also something like 435 House races this year, and those deserve our attention as well.
So hit with the Woozle and Pooties photos and let's talk about the First Woozle, Bo.
