Good evening. I have not discussed it too much (I hope!) on Daily Kos, but a loved one has been fighting a difficult cancer battle for this past year, and it isn’t one of the good ones to have — esophageal cancer.
More below.
Top Comments recognizes the previous day's Top Mojo and strives to promote each day's outstanding comments through nominations made by Kossacks like you. Please send comments (before 9:30pm ET) by email to topcomments@gmail.com or by our KosMail message board.
There was a surgery a week ago that we hoped would conclude the surgical portion of the ordeal. Complications have made the past three days much more concerning than we had hoped. Still, the situation seemed slightly better today and this evening, and I sat to write confident that the words would flow and I could post a Top Comments diary tonight.
But, when I peer into the well, alas, it’s empty. I apologize for that, and will plan to do better next week.
I have to thank brillig for doing the Tops and submitted comments.
I wish you all and your families the very best.
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
From The Marti:
In Hunter’s diary Trump answers reporter questions in rambling, baffling photo-op, Trump thinks Kashmir is just beautfiul… a comment by aPauledInNJ is delightful snark. They have idiots; we have snark!
From Macchiavelli:
Nominating News Corpse’s response to MarvinMartian’s comment, from News Corpse’s diary The Fear in Trump's Tweets is Off the Charts 'Bonkers' as the Mueller Hearing Looms.
