I came here in 2007 to support Barack Obama for president. I enjoyed this place immensely for a long time, until it became a site that, seemingly officially, opposed the President.

I've rarely been here lately, except for the pootie diaries.

Well, they'll still be here a week from now.

I wondered for a long time where so many of my favorite people went. Then I checked out Black Kos yesterday, and there they were! Except that several of them, I learned, were banned.

So obviously, that's where I stand.

I'm going out early, 'cause I don't want to stay up until midnight local time (that would be Pacific time).
