You read it correctly. Daily Kos will be shutting down for much-needed 'maintenance' for an indefinite period. But not before you get one last opportunity to freely express yourselves before this year ends. So, get all of your anger and sundry complaints out in this diary. Then, come back refreshed for the new year. And start your bitching and moaning again.
I just got off the phone with ct and he confirmed that DK needs a break from you with the reverse possibly being true too. And, no, they don't call him ct for the reasons you're thinking of.
I think DK has has reached its limit for 2009. There is no hard drive memory left in the system's mainframe to absorb all of your whining about this or that issue.
See you below the fold.
One thing I'll guarantee you in this diary: you can say whatever the hell you want to say about any issue, criticize any Kossack, express all of your repressed thoughts, explore any new conspiracy theories, hurl any insult, do any damn thing that comes to mind and I will not HR you.* Even if our Lord Protector Community Moderator insists that I do otherwise.
So, where do we begin? You have complaints about Healthcare Reform and how you would have done it differently were you appointed Maximum Leader for a few months? Enquiring minds wanna know your policy positions and informed take on it.
You have concerns about bringing the troops home from Afghanistan? Boy, we wanna know your plan for it. Don't you know that millions hundreds of thousands thousands hundreds dozens of people are anxious to hear your side? Now is your chance to articulate what's been bugging you and let loose that inner military strategist in you.
How about Global Warming? We are dying to to see you present your rational, scientific findings. You say you're not a scientist and have no scientific background? Not a problem. I'm sure you still have some invaluable insights. The future of Plant Earth is at stake.
User ID's? Nah, you don't wanna go there. Not many of you are gonna win that battle against me. What else am I missing? Whatever the damn issue, I wanna see, hear, and feel your hi-decibel moaning and groaning. Some people may call it "Hyper Democracy" but, hey, even Winston Churchill said that it was the best form of government, considering the alternatives. The consent of the governed is an essential ingredient of any successful democracy.
So, let's hear your side. Get it all out. Do not, under any circumstances, hold anything back or in. Whatever you say will not be held against you now or ever. Ever received a better offer from anyone... your spouse, friends, siblings, children, or, even, your pooties and woozles? I didn't think so.
So, without further ado...
Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's O.K., lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes, lets get down to it!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

* This is a general amnesty diary. Its purpose is to get the anger out of your system. Once you've done so and cleansed your body and soul of all negative thoughts, you may return to this blog. That's the quid pro quo I'm offering you. You won't get another generous offer like this. Now or ever!
