Greetings from Angelhack SF 2012! We are a few devs who are semi-liberal (check my diary history, as I used to post to DKos like 5 years ago) and part of a competition to build a site in about 24 hours.

Anyways, our goal is to build a site where you can watch along (currently only with FOX News), submit statements that need to be fact-checked, then attach facts for or against. We're in a competition where we'll be judged in about 4 hours, so the more quality users and activity we have at about 2:30pm PST, the more likely potential investors will want to be a part.

The site's called Factasmic.com, it will be open for business at 12:30pm PST. Spend your Sunday watching some fox news, chatting in real time with other Kossacks, and alpha-testing a product that didn't exist 24 hours ago! :)

PLEASE tell your friends, as the more people we have at 2:30pm, the better chance you could one day very soon have a platform to hold pundits accountable in real time for what they say! Eventually, we want to partner with CNN and other news networks so YOUR FEEDBACK could instantly show up the next time Anderson Cooper interviews a guest.

From FoxNews.com:

Sources close to the South Carolina congressman charge that hackers have blitzed his campaign Web site JoeWilsonforCongress.com with a series of attacks that periodically shut down the page.

When I first read this, it sounded strangely familliar...

Not only is the title of my diary what Bush is telling our country by commuting the sentence of Scooter Libby, it is what I am about to tell you, the diarists of DailyKos.

Or at least those who don't believe in impeachment.

Its quite obvious that many of us here feel strongly about the I-Word. In the last few weeks, I-Word diaries have been getting consistent play on the rec list. And yet nobody is noticing, and AFAIK Kos et al. are still against the idea of the I-Word.

If what the current flow of the I-Word talk can be described as a brewing storm...

Let's turn it into a motherfucking tornado.

Specifics below the fold.

It's simple, really. You didn't control the message.

You let the Republicans frame the debate as whether or not you were voting against the troops, which is fucking stupid.

Let me explain why below the fold.

While I read DailyKos almost everyday, I must say I'm disappointed at some tendencies I've noticed here, mostly in the community aspects. Ever since I decided to (casually) contribute to the site and participate in discussions, I feel like I've had better discussions on Wikipedia and Slashdot.

Follow me before the fold, unless you're browsing through diaries, where I fully expect you to keep browsing, as this is a meta diary, not by a featured contributor, and is not about Gonzalesgate or current issue, which is by definition 3 strikes and out.

With the recent vote on the imported drugs plan failing to pass, I am quite literally fuming behind the keyboard as I write this.

I don't know which is a bigger lesson to learn from this: finding a way to loosen the death grip the pharmaceutical industry has on Congress, or seeing the sheer monstrosity of the lie perpetuated by big business that what they strive for is a "free market".

Free, indeed.

Dear Democratic Senators, Representatives, and other notable Democrats:

The art of controlling and shaping the battlefield of ideas has traditionally been dominated by Republicans. "John Kerry is a flip-flopping coward" in the 2004 Elections, the ubiquitous meme of "Democrats are weak on security", and simplifying removing ourselves from another country's civil war as "cut-and-run" are clear-cut examples of where they have succeeded in propagating easy-to-digest message morsels that are spoon-fed to an eager "some say" media that then reinforce these ideas to the public.

Just wanted to pass on a very interesting tale about two young entrepeneurs trying to start an ISP in Iraq... FTA:

Ryan Lackey wears body armor to business meetings. He flies armed helicopters to client sites. He has a cash flow problem: he is paid in hundred-dollar bills, sometimes shrink-wrapped bricks of them, and flowing this money into a bank is difficult. He even calls some of his company's transactions "drug deals" – but what Lackey sells is Internet access. From his trailer on Logistics Staging Area Anaconda, a colossal US Army base fifty miles north of Baghdad, Lackey runs Blue Iraq, surely the most surreal ISP on the planet. He is 26 years old.

Diarist Winsmith's "I Don't Care About Tony Snow" response to Miss Blue's "Our Prayers Go Out To Tony Snow and Family seems a bit callous to me, though scathingly accurate in some areas. Please note that I am not "calling out" Winsmith, as I recommended the diary myself as an excellent read; it's just that I disagree with most of his conclusions specifically about Tony Snow.

We should care about Tony Snow.

Some have criticized Ms. Couric's interview with Edwards and her use of "some say" journalism. Some have called her out as lacking any journalistic integrity in the first place.

I, however, say thank you.

Please read through the whole post before you trollrate me.

It is true that a majority of Americans want our troops out. Here on DailyKos, those representatives who say anything other than "Bring our troops home!" are ridiculed for their stance on the quagmire that exists today in Iraq.

Having been strongly in the "Bring our troops home NOW!" camp for quite some time, I'm afraid I'm losing my way.
