Finally.
Today, I logged into the DailyKos account I created a week ago and the magical "New Diary Entry" link was visible for the first time. Finally, there is a place to post my occasionally coherent musings on the subject of politics and issues of the day.
I am an avid reader and fan of Thomas Paine and draw upon his inspiring model as the citizen-writer, the firebrand and Vox populi of his day. So forgive me for occasional lapses into an 18th century writing style. We truly are what we read.
With that said, dear diary, let's get the ball rolling -- for of my many, many shortcomings, being at a loss for words or opinions, is thankfully not among them.
