I post this Roll Call diary not only because we are long overdue for one (the last official one I did was back in September 2009), but also to reclaim the Rec List for Non-Pootie diaries.
We will all remember this day, April 1, 2010, a day that will live in infamy. When we dog lovers, cat haters (and those who are ambivalent towards pets in general) let down our guard. Never again.
As you know, Daily Kos has been around for 100 years in internet terms. Whole generations of users have come and go. I have lost track at what UID # we are currently at, but my guess is we are approaching 400,000, if we haven't already passed it.
That is a lot of Socialists to keep track of.
And as today's cat aggression shows, we are one huge community, and opportunities to get to know your fellow liberal brethren are few and far between in the daily grind. So many generations ago, I published the first Daily Kos Roll Call back in 2003. It is just an optional "get to know your community" diary. I think the first roll call I posted was way back in the last internet century, in 2003.
So here goes.
First, please recommend this diary so that as many Kossacks as possible can participate.
Second, in the comments below, and only if you are willing, please post a comment containing the following information:
Your Age Your Gender Your town, city, state of residence The college or university you attended or graduated from (if any) Your occupation A link to a local blog that you visit Your Daily Kos User ID
To find your UID, find a previous comment of yours on your comment page. Hover your mouse cursor above your username, and in the status bar on the bottom left of your screen should appear the number.
Remember, this is completely voluntary. If want to participate but do not want to give out any of the details above, that is fine too. And be sure to vote in the poll below as to what region of the country or world you live in. And don't worry about my geographical designations, for it is virtually guaranteed you will disagree with the region I label you as. Indeed, in the past some have were "concerned" with my labeling Alaska and Hawaii as "The Freak States" (an nod to a Simpsons joke). Don't worry about it.
Thanks so very much!
