We had an unscheduled nite... so follow me below the dingledoodlesquiggliedKosagnocchidividerthingie fold after a word from our sponsor...
Here at Top Comments we strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it to topcomments at gmail by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
NOTE: Bowing to that newfangled DK4 stuff :-), you also may send nominations to the Top Comments group email. If you don't see a nomination you made to there in the diary, please pipe up - it means we're still trying to remember not to forget to check!
As the discussion in Dragon5616's Sunday evening diary showed, it's OK not to have a diary sometimes. Tonite's one of those time... it's 9:37PM, I just got online after 12 hours away, and noticed the hole. I figured you'd all rather see the Tops than a hastily-grabbed pootie pic or music video :). So without further ado...
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist. 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 I do
not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks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.
From one who did not give me his username in their gmail message:
Conservative beliefs, by LeftHandedMan.
From Steveningen:
Prince Friso, the son of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands was in a skiing accident in Austria last week. Mnemosyne excellently pointed out the difference between American and European reporting in situations like this in gravlax's diary Santorum's "Freedom Fries" Moment: Dutch Treat.
La Gitane zeros right in the the Republican hive mind in this comment posted in my diary Santorum on Obama: What a snob.
