On to tonight's comments, most graciously compiled and formatted by brillig!
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. 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 I do
not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks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 Dragon5616:
In Hunter's front page post Conservative guns-in-schools plan runs afoul of the insurance industry, bindle wasted no time in offering this gem.
From BeninSC:
Flagged by Don midwest and gulfgal98, this comment by ZhenRen takes a thoughtful look at the broader threats to US security because of our foreign policy.
I thought this comment by navajo was a flagging comment, but it turns out that it .. stands on its own! (It reminds me of a comedy skit Howie Mandel did many years ago. He does the entire skit wearing a hat that has a bird sitting on it. Finally, he points to the bird and says, a shit flew over and bird on my hat. I thought it was a delicious setup!)
Flagged by Chrislove (you know you can submit comments to Top Comments via kosmail, yes, Chris? ::wink::), this comment by Glen The Plumber shows his fine sense of humor!
Flagged by flitedocnm, this comment by xxdr zombiexx needs this lead-in comment by datadata for (Eric Cantor) context.
