I'm sure that this has been posted in a similar manner in the past, but I think it might bear repeating now that the election silly season is passing and everyone is getting "serious" (national party conventions are so inherently serious, you know).
It's really easy to put together a DKOS diary that will have a chance of making the rec list if you just follow 4 simple steps, set forth below:
Step 1: Find a video clip, news article, essay, blog post, tweet, etc. written by someone you like that discusses a statement, essay, blog post, tweet, etc. by someone else you don't like.
Step 2: Prepare a title for your diary by using the following formula: [Democrat; Liberal; Progressive; Bernie Sanders; or other person I like] [SYNONYM for DESTROYS (must be in ALL CAPS] [Republican; Conservative; Fascist; Ayn Rand; or other person I don't like].
Step 3: Embed a video, or link to written material in body, and then select some pithy quotes from your chosen media along with some of your own witty retorts.
Step 4: Post and enjoy your 15 minutes.
Many people believe that following the above formula will increase their chances of making the rec list from 1/48,000,000 to no worse than 1/14,275,183, an improvement of almost 336.25% (this has to be true because there are big numbers and math and stuff involved).
Anyway, good luck to all of you as you keep us updated on all the latest defenestrations, disembowelings, and assorted mayhem committed by your heroes on their hapless victims. Kossacks everywhere are depending on you, so don't let them down.
