user 211479. Here on the Kos, what I have learned is that people generally expect the author of a diary to provide a fully understandable article, including links to source articles and other information that helps the reader to comprehend the message.

It is common for people to demand "links" to things that could easily be googled. I admit I used to feel that was somewhat lazy too... but it's the culture here, and it does save time for us all when people provide links, or in this case just provide the information on what this acronym stands for in the diary.

Sure, we can go google it, but the author could also just tell us. It is also very common around here for commenters on a diary to ask for edits or improvements in the diary to help make it better. It doesn't mean they don't like the author.

In those infrequent spaces where hope finds a few threads broken in a net of cynicism, I think (oh don't we all!) that I have a great idea, and so much better than overrated political advisors will have on their minds, in the dull duties of maintaining power.

I think the prez should donate the money to whatever agencies have some success in tamping down the gang wars/activity in this country.

It hit me like an ash from a cigar illegally smoked by the person in front of me one summer on an elevated train.

No disrespect to the Dowd or Collins, though I find the latter much less a grandstander than the former.

A thought just ran across my mind like the tiniest of mice, and it once again impresses me how we fail to even use memories that are not so far back in some of our current rhetorical battles.

As someone who personally favors a not-for-profit medical care system, I was ultimately heartbroken to listen to Obama's speech. For the many merits that it had, he still had to bow to uber-capitalism. Sell it on the merits of competition in the market.

I am thrilled to see, what I've not yet seen, Meryl Streep, doing Julia Childs. She's been "best actress" in my book, forever.As has been Christopher Walken, and Robert De Niro, on the "best actor" scale.

If you have any time left over from blogdrama (I am proud of being ashamed of shame, etc.)please read the BBC article about the children of Beslan.To get some perspective on how deeply adults wound children:

It is my fervent hope that Ted Kennedy's death might surrendipitously redirect the public spectacle on debating health care, which has claimed all-time shallow as of late.

McCain is now conducting a townhall on healthcare in Phoenix, and a questioner asked a very intelligent question, specifically pointing to the disparity between what most "first world" nations offer to their citizens as compared to the the for-profit US system, geared to make corporations profit while denying treatment.

Glenn Beck has been milking his faux populism for ratings gold, but he's walled off his $4.2 million estate behind a 6-foot barrier to keep the poors out. And we hear his neighbors aren't happy.

Beck applied for a permit to build a six-foot wall around his New Canaan, Conn., home (pictured above and below) last year, citing security concerns and claiming that he had been "besieged by angry audiences." Most homes in New Canaan are limited to four-foot fences.

But illegal Mexicans and faceless Illuminati assassins can easily hop four-foot barriers, so Beck asked the town for permission last year to completely encircle his home in a 6-foot wall, and he actually brought a security guard with him to the town meeting where his application was being considered because they are everywhere. Beck had begun construction of the wall prior to receiving permission from the town, a big no-no.

Obama often succeeds by some part sincerity and some part sales ability. I'll leave it up to anyone else to figure the percentages.

But I was rather struck by reading this account of the President trying to do his balance act with his children in Ghana:

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."

In the will-towards-shallowness of American politics, I see Ghandi re-fashioned.

First, you win. Then they fight you. Then you bestow tokens. Then there is a sit-com......
