Of course, the story of how Daily Kos evolved and became a must-attend destination for all progressive Democrats has been told many times, some of them aloud. How markos became a billionaire, taking thousands of bloggers along with him, the George Soros of the next generation ... and yet, clearly the already achieved political and financial success is not enough.
Now, the Great Orange Satan has been detected branching out into office supplies! It’s pretty cool! New trucks, new boxes, who knows where it will end?! The box we acquired said the product line includes: office products, toner and inkjet cartridges, promotional products (ideal for more and better Democrats!), beverage service (which I think means GOS-coffee), professional printing, cleaning and breakdown supplies, office furniture and a managed print service.
(I don't know how he (kos) got her to agree, but I'm pretty sure that is Rachel Maddow on the side of that panel van. ::wink:: (Or maybe not!) )
I knew I should have clicked on more of those advertising links!
What are your favorite office supplies, and do you think kos has them?!
On to tonight's comments! (Deep thanks to brillig for the collaborative help!)
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 I do
not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks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.
From Puddytat:
Don't miss this one! Wendys Wink gives permission for President Obama to cut Social Security, but only when he's done this.
From Just Bob:
If we have finally started a conversation on what kind of a country we want to live in, this comment by kurious is as good a place as any to start.
From samddobermann:
This suggestion by rabel is a great way to track email address sales.
From ScottyUrb:
Alexandra Lynch tells us about her son's very impressive Eagle Scout project!
From BeninSC:
This comment from Buckeye Nut Schell was flagged by Mogolori. The entire comment is in the comment title and can only be understood in its context as a reply to this comment from Bindle.
This comment from slinkerwink was flagged by gulfgal98, for its clear focus on mistakes Obama is making, like pitching chained CPI reductions in Social Security (though s did not mention it explicitly, I did).
