Leap Day and the new month seem to have your Top Commenteers a bit behind on the schedule, and we had a hole. I'm nearly always offline on Friday nights, a longstanding evening spent with family, but I wanted everyone to have their Tops fix :-).Follow me below the dingledoodlesquiggliedKosagnocchidividerthingie fold after a word from our sponsor...
Here at Top Comments we strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it to topcomments at gmail by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
NOTE: Bowing to that newfangled DK4 stuff :-), you also may send nominations to the Top Comments group email. If you don't see a nomination you made to there in the diary, please pipe up - it means we're still trying to remember not to forget to check!
Three shall be the number of the Tops, and the number of the tops shall be three...
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything
without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do
not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
From Thinking Fella:
Regarding the Blunt Amendment, by DocGonzo in this morning's Pundit Round-up.
From Steveningen:
jwinIL14 shows us why Daily Kos snark is unparalleled in SquareBoy's equally snarky diary Romney Comes Out Swinging Against Rush Limbaugh.
From sardonyx:
In Alan Grayson's diary The Myths That Are Killing Us, cruz has a better version of number ten about the "free market".
Bruin Kid finds an excellent off-site quote regarding advertisers leaving Rush Limbaugh to post in the Midday Open Thread. (It's so good BK posts it again here with a bit more background in the Meteor Blades diary on Limbaugh doubling down. No, I'm not going to look to see whether it shows up thrice or even quadrice, not that that's a word.)
From Yours Truly, brillig:
blue aardvark reminds us that it's not just the advertisers, it's Bain too.
