Open Thread and Diary Rescue

This evening's Rescue Rangers are Louisiana 1976, Unitary Moonbat, jennyjem, dopper0189, TruthOfAngels, and avila, with watercarrier4diogenes scrounging around in the pockets of the Robes of Objectivity, looking for the Wand of 'Seriousness' (tm) Glenzilla.

Tonight's diaries cover a variety of interesting issues not covered by the 'traditional media' (tm Kos) with the kind of research, perspective and analysis we see here every day.
