I probably visit this site two or three times a day. And each time, it never fails to amaze me how many talented, intelligent and thought-provoking people out there take their valuable time to post their thoughts here. I mean, forget the MSM bullshit. Time? Fuck'em. Newsweek? Bullshit. New York Times? Has-been. Simply put: Fuck Them All. Like Billy Joel once sang, "I'm taking a Greyhound on a Hudson river-line. Cuz I'm in a DKos state of mind." (Okay, I made that part up, but it rings true for me.)
At times, I find it annoying that so many great diaries go unnoticed. Some are just flat-out well-written. Some contain very, very valuable info/news we overlook. That said, I appreciate Rescued Diaries. But even that's not enough.
Currently, the Recommended Diaries section holds eight diaries. EIGHT. 8?
Why not 12? Better yet, why not 20?
You can't convince me that there aren't at least 20 great diaries on DailyKos at any given moment that are must-reads. In fact, I just read and recommended at least 12 diaries and I'm not done!
So why not expand the Recommended section and give exposure to other great diarists out there who often go unnoticed?
8 isn't enough. There are too many things happening and there are too many great diaries that need to be read, by us and the MSM who lurk here so that they're at least reminded of the reason why they (MSM) are quickly becoming ancient relics of the past.
