As of today, there have been diaries on everything from Three Mile Island to medical marijuana to Mumia Abu-Jamal.
And as far as I'm concerned, they're viral diaries. Their real purpose isn't to inform or create discussion, but to push and rehash tired old conspiracies or extremely old news.
Why they're showing up today, I have no idea.
But I will say this: all they serve to do is ruin the reputation of sites like DailyKOS.
I first started lurking at DailyKos because it offered a way to share the ideas and opinions of like minded individuals when it came to some of the issues the world was facing. Chief among them the Bush administration.
But ever since GW left the White House, something has happened to this site. It's turning into a clearing house for wingnuttery.
To be perfectly blunt, I don't give a rat's ass about Three Mile Island because frankly, I've heard about it before. I really don't care what Obama is or isn't doing about marijuana, because I think he's got better things to worry about. And Mumia-Abu Jamal could come free with a side order of fries, and I still wouldn't care.
None of it is relevant to any of the issues both the US and the rest of the world is facing right now.
