First of all, yes I am the guy who wrote Hey kos, change my f'n screen name. So, if you didn’t like that, you are probably not going to want to read this. Otherwise, I will attempt to make the transition to my new username as seamlessly and honestly as possible.
Check out my old profile.
I have written 157 diaries for DK.
I joined in the halcyon days of the 2008 Presidential election season. I have come and gone as life allowed or dictated.
There are fallow periods and there are periods of great productivity. Such is the nature of things.
To my knowledge, I have never received a hide rate in 8 years. Apparently, this plant doesn’t crave Brawndo.
I have written 23 rescued articles. I want to thank the Rescue Rangers from the bottom of my heart for every one.
11 of my diaries made the Wreck List.
The Reasons
- I no longer wish to write pseudonymously.
- I would like my real name signed to everything I write here.
- I don’t give a damn, but if Steven Bannon is working for the White House then anyone trolling this site will have to cite me by name. No cool pseudonym. Period.
The Rationale
In TrumpLandia™, it is verboten to dissent publicly. The press has been threatened with decreased access. Candidates have been threatened with prosecution. (jokingly? no) Trump advisors have made public comments about enemies lists and political payback. The CEO of Breitbart flippin News will not even need to be confirmed to get access to the highest office in the land.
I am frustrated. I am a little scared. But I have a voice.
I plan to use it.
Ask Me Anything
So, in the style of the medium, I am here to answer questions.
I might get the BanHammer for doing this, so this might be your only chance. If so, I will continue to lurk. I freakin love this place.
The lines are open. I will stay here for as long as there are questions until I just have to sleep.

The questions seem to have stopped for the night. As a West Coaster, it will be hard to catch the EST morning crowd. I’m sorry if I don’t get to answer more questions in a timely manner. I promise I will answer them all when I get back to this diary in the morning.
In Murrow’s words,
“Good Night. And Good Luck.”
