I’m sure a lot of hard work was put into it, but I dislike the new layout so much I feel like going elsewhere for my daily dose of organized progressivism.

To lose all sense of timeline and order is just nuts, and topic groupings should be click-throughs, not just stacked willy-nilly on the front page, based on seemingly no logicallevel of importance.

was any community engagement put into the new design???

Wait... Wasn't Linda Tripp an indirect whistleblower?

Not a big thought, but it just came to me — with all these ‘claims’ that you can’t possibly be a whistleblower if you’re not a direct witness to the act…

Wasn’t Linda Tripp not a direct witness to the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski affair?

A little snack for thought!

Schadenfreude of Glenn Beckian proportions...

Wow, I don't know if anyone else has been partaking in some sweet, sweet Schadenfreude while listening to the Far Right radio stations today, but tonight's Glenn Beck really takes the cake. If you can, listen to the podcast. Seriously, it sounds like the guy needs to go on suicide watch.

Almost makes me feel sorry for him... almost, but not quite.

Yay us!

Hello, everyone! Not much to say, except that I took the plunge and purchased a lifetime subscription. A gift to myself, you might say.

Daily Kos has been my go-to poliblog since I joined during the fierce (and ultimately frustrating) Bush v Kerry presidential campaign. I don't remember how I actually ran across Daily Kos, but when I signed up my UID was/is 17068, and I thought, "wow, I'm late to this party!" In retrospect, I guess I was one of the early arrivers. :-)

I have a collection of websites I bring up via a Firefox bookmark group, and DK is always first in the list, and is my most-frequent jumping-off point to other locations.

Why get the subscription? I dunno. Paying back a little of what I've gotten from this tremendous online community? Quite so, but also because I hate ads. Especially the entire-screen-wash kind the site uses occasionally. I was previously using an ad-blocker, but then felt guilty seeing the "you're stealing from our livelihood" messages and re-enabled it for the site, but they still really bugged me. I hadn't heard of a lifetime subscription being offered before, and since I've been around since '04 and a yearly subscription is $40, doing the math was easy to justify it.

This is only my second diary in all that time, and I'm not sure if there will be others - by the time I think of something to say it usually has already been said numerous times - but I'll just take this opportunity to say THANKS to everyone that has helped this community evolve and flourish in the way it has.

<loooooongtime reader, FIRST DIARY!!!>
I haven't heard final word on what exactly is going to be happening on May 1st here in Phoenix, except for backing off the full boycott and maybe creating a human chain, prayer vigils, etc., but here's something I received via email from the "other side":
