Yup, I stole it from smileycreek.
So, I knew for a couple of days that I was going to be writing Top Comments tonight. It is now checks watch 90 minutes to post time, and I still have no subject.
Do you know what this means???
It could mean I'm lazy.
Or maybe I just played all day instead of thinking up an essay ...
I have spent a fair amount of time on the sidelines in recent months ... watching ...
It's not like I'm a newbie at this!
So I think my first conclusion is correct. I'm lazy.
May Daily Kos and Ceiling Cat forgive me.
Your submissions!
From smileycreek:
JekyllnHyde hilariously imagines the GOP Congressional Congress' reply to Muammar Gaddafi's fawning thank-you note to Republicans who criticized President Obama's involvement in the NATO-led campaign in Libya in silver spring's diary, Libyan People Thank Obama ! (While Qaddafi Thanks the GOP)
From LaughingPlanet:
Pluto posted a rather sad diary yesterday. However, therein she added a few comments to sardonically lighten the mood.
Any of her pictorial items might qualify, but for starters, try THIS and THIS.
From JaxDem:
This is JaxDem here with a submission from my Morning Open Thread.
This comment from Phil S 33, giving a big "Way To Go" to the Witnessing Revolution Team was spot on describing that group's hard work and dedication.
From lineatus:
You could write a diary - hell, you could write a weekly series - spelling this out. But RickMassimo says it all in a single comment.
From Seneca Doane:
In Kaili Joy Gray's FP story about Rick Perry's Communications Director disavowing Perry's own book from last year -- yes, you read that right -- Kaili Joy serves up a delicious graphic confection in the diary itself and then lineatus puts the cherry on top. This image is a keeper!
I held a small contest in the comments section of this FP diary about bond traders coming out against austerity measures in the near future (although maybe they'd like to see them eventually), and Methinks They Lie won, but all of the replies to my comment are worth reading.
From ScottyUrb:
wonderwhy shares Jack Layton's inspiring last words to the people of Canada and the world.
From Dragon5616:
In angelajean's diary Congressional Influence - As a Community, What Do We Have?, DaNang65 urges us to answer that question by bringing a long-overlooked veterans' and women's issue to the attention of the Congress critters.
My picks:
I think bluestatesam has a really good point - has anyone ever quantified this?
Horace Boothroyd III says what I'm thinking all too often.
This pithy comment from pwn3rship society speaks volumes.
YucatanMan and Puddytat emphasize very important points on corporate welfare and our need to change the message.
