During the years I have been a Daily Kos member, I’ve grown old. I’ve lost my TU status, can’t afford to contribute the way I used to, checked out my friends of yore and find that they too have been demoted, down to only two marks, and never write diaries any more. Is this any way to treat your elders? Demoted into obscurity? I get emails almost daily from DKos asking me to log back in to my account and give my views on various subjects, which I might appreciate, but I have never logged out. Catch that Kos, I have never logged out.

Back to the present: I do not like the format of the new site. It is too white, too modern, too gray, and certainly geared to a huge viewing audience, with little left of the old intimacy that characterized community. I’m old, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like change. I fear the changes made will not enhance the sense of community we once had, or did I only imagine it?

Worth a page or only a footnote?

I asked my husband if he thought Sarah Palin would warrant a page or only a footnote in history? And it led to an interesting discussion between the two of us and led him to consider seemingly powerful people who have been relegated to the ranks of only a footnote. To whit: Father Charles Coughlin. Follow up commentary from my husband, whom we may call Fred, will include Ross Perot and Sarah Palin. 'Fred' will be on hand for discussion and comments.

For the last two or three days, Personal Anti-Virus has chosen to visit my computer and alerted me that I had sixty-some 'seriously crucial' viruses that needed to be fixed Now! And for $59.99, personalav could take care of them, permanently.

Jan., 2007 issue of GQ has lead on front page: "THE KING MAKER Inside the DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION with the Man who made it all happen," by Ryan Lizza.

Great, I say to myself, Dean finally gets his, but then on Page 84:

"He's the new kingmaker of the Democratic Party, the man who handpicked candidates, twisted arms, crushed dissent, and delivered the nation from one-party rule, so what does the Clinton vet and former ballet dancer plan to do with all that power?"

Page 85, lo and behold aportrait of Rahm Emanuel

follow me below for excerpts and you just know Dean doesn't smell pretty

An interesting event took place Tuesday in Grand Island, Nebraska. Swift has a huge meat processing plant there and employs hundreds of immigrant workers. Tuesday morning, buses pulled up to the doors, Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers entered the buildings and arrested and removed 261 employees.

Ramifications below:

Edrie can't post but hopefully will jump in here to lead us through another session with Kent Conrad and his gang of good guys in the Senate.

Ongoing now on CSpan2 is day three of discussions on Conrad's amenment to the Ag Bill asking for monies to be used as relief funding for ranchers and farmers in drought stricken North Dakota.

Short diary, I know, but you need to hear what is going on more than you need to read another paragraph.
