Almost every single diary I have seen on Kos about Beck's rally has been ridiculous. Photo's of giant crowds with some green space tucked away in the corner a few hundred yards away get the caption "See, I can still sit down somewhere! This rally is pathetic!".

This is not the path we want to lead ourselves down. Stop trying to belittle the turnout for what happened to be a successful rally... by deluding yourselves and contributing to the delusion of others you are only hurting the cause.

Ive recently been forwarding to all my friends the link to Obama's website. It has a nifty little feature that tells you the address you are registered at. But...

Louisiana citizens are discovering things about their homeowner's insurance policies. At least those under Allstate. After Katrina and Rita, something horrible happened. Allstate wanted to get out from insuring areas of south Louisiana which are deemed extremely high risk due to hurricanes...

According to the Alaskan Department of transportation, Sarah Palin's administration is still considering the project. There are a number of options they are going over, including ferries and bridges. This adds an entirely new layer to the lie that she is any kind of anti-pork spending reformer.

I reside in the gloriously wonderful state of Louisiana. And yes, that putrid mist you see spraying from my lips is pure, 100% unadulterated, weaponized into aerosol form sarcasm. For a long while I completely stopped bringing up politics out of fear of what nonsense I would hear. I consider myself a medium information voter: I can tell you the truth about the candidates and their positions, but I lack the knowledge of the inner workings of a campaign and basic strategies they employ, the vast knowledge of political history many here seem to have, and I have never volunteered due to certain political restrictions, although I wish I could.

Well lately, I have been hearing some things that have given me great hope.

This is my first diary here at Kos. Some quick background information on me: I voted for Bush in 2004. I regret most of the voting decisions I made up to this point (there aren't many). My political philosophy could have been summarized with "Me. Me. Me." Something major happened to me between now and then: I recently became a father. Not only did I become a father, I became a single father. I wont go into details, but I became a father in one of the most shocking ways imaginable. Think Jerry Springer, special edition. I was still a college student, just about to graduate. "Me. Me. Me." turned into "Her. Her. Her." My entire paradigm shifted. This change from outrageous behavior and thinking is what I credit to my significantly different political beliefs (A great professor and a massive paper I did on Iraq helped too).

I have been commenting here for awhile and I (as well as others) have noticed how the McCain Campaign's VP nominee seems to have thrown us all off message.
