Top Comments is late tonight because I watched the Princess Bride Reunion Cast Reading and Q&A while simultaneously helping democracy. Time well spent. Hop below the fold for tonight’s Tops.
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern.

Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
From Paul A:
I nominate RandomNonViolence's comment on ChitownKev's Sunday Pundit Round-up, comparing the standard way of passing legislation (President proposes, House passes, Senate passes different bill, joint committee reconciles through compromise) with the Republican model now adopted by the New York Times (McConnell quashes all bills from House and instead drafts bill only speaking to Republicans, which not even all Senate Republican will vote for; nothing happens). The Washington Post gives some insight on the differences in legislation, but the Times fails.
From Yasuragi:
From Charles Jay, this bit of country music history, and an unexpected hero(ine).
Also, Margaret POA, who had an unexpected reaction to hearing “Ebony and Ivory.”
From Youffraita:
This diary-worthy comment from RandomNonviolence, as well as this one by The Geogre, both from the Sunday Pundit Roundup.
