Haven't seen Carmen Sandiego in years. And now The Meteor is moving on from our DKOS sky. The serious side exists, of course:
I am taking a leave of absence from Daily Kos. Other than to say my reasons are not related to my health, I am not willing to discuss the matter in public. My return is doubtful.
-- Tim Lange, Meteor Blades
So... let's get down our guesses on what #6's next job will be.
He's too valuable simply to disappear. A Dream Job for him is to replace Joe Scarborough. What is his new enterprise or passion or folly or winning-of-the-lottery ?
Left-brain rational calculations... acceptable. Right-brain silliness... why not. We knew Tim before there was a DailyKos and guessing his next job has absolutely nothing to do with his personal life.
Enjoy !!
And do try to ignore The Crazies ! Coming to DKOS should be fun, not a Tea Party hate-fest.
The attacks on me started in earnest when I pointed out the public domain document that tied Bibi Netanyahu's advisors -- the NeoCons -- with getting America into the Iraq War.
They signed their names. This includes Richard Perle and Douglas Feith who in 2002 were working at the Pentagon manufacturing the critical lies. They wrote in 1995/1996 about getting America into a ground war in the Middle East. Invading Iraq is their example.
A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm (1996)
Identifying this paper brought on 40 HR clicks and obvious lies that the information is antisemitic. Right wingers are the problem, not Jews generally. Defending the NeoCons brought out an amazing array of DKOS accounts.
This isn't going to stop.
Ties between Bibi Netanyahu, his Likud Party in Israel, and the Bush/Cheney connected NeoCons remain a significant feature of world politics. Right wingers in Israel are bosom buddies with the right wingers in America. All of these people are enemies to progressives and pro-democracy folks in both countries.
Massive demonstrations against Likud in Israel are turning out as much as 4% of the whole country. Here that would be roughly 12,000,000 people. Netanyahu got back in to power, but the paranoia and obsessions are too much for people. (He's separated at birth with Cheney.)
With this diary these accounts have added another 100-odd HR clicks. They usde the same language, the same linguistic forms. And there's some people, regular kossacks who do follow-the-leader, too.
The ones who use the nasty name-calling language are the rightie wankers. Democrats don't talk like that to other Democrats, or even other Americans, hopefully other humans.

As for Tim, he's going to be fine.
He's the Ultimate Pootie -- nine lives and always lands on his feetsies.
Think Tavis Smiley with street smarts.....
