Um, so apparently no one was scheduled for tonight. Consider this an open thread while your TC team throws the rest together.
From DRo:
I nominate brooklynbadboy's comment @ Jen Hayden's diary Mike Huckabee unleashes tirade in defense of the Duggar family and molestation charges.
This snark just about summarizes the problem.
From
Puddytat:
Hestal said in all in this comparison of Elizabeth Warren to Political following their latest "hit piece".
From FishOutofWater:
I couldn't stop laughing to this perfect reply to my comment on ISDS.
(Note from Tara: Comment was by northleft, and was also sent in by lunachickie.)
From
Brecht:
This is the best comment I've seen in awhile . . .
. . . and an oasis of good sense and sharp insight, in the pie-fight swirling around Shaun King's work, and just how accurate and edited our diaries should be.
What bastrop did is DKos at its finest, and what is so sorely lacking in most of the internet: He looked at every angle of the situation, he explained his thoughts and feelings on all sides of the matter, and he made the big picture clearer than anyone else could. No attacks, no assumptions, just a lot of humble, balanced observation and sensitivity.
DKos needs more comments like this, and more people with the patience to read them and ponder awhile. Here 'tis:
Posting down here in the weeds . . .
Thanks for the work you guys and gals do,
Brecht
From sfbob:
I'd like to nominate a comment by Brubs from gchaucer's diary on the Irish marriage equality referendum "Update: Ireland: Historic Vote Today on Marriage Equality -- Polls closed. Counting tomorrow". Here's a link to the diary.
Brubs' comment speaks very clearly to an important conversation we will see going forward both within and outside of the LGBT community. Brubs states, in part,
"I feel in many ways [marriage equality] has forced the LGBT community to mature and take more seriously our relationships instead of viewing them through the polluted lens forced upon us for so many years; one that made many of us feel as though our relationships were furtive, transitory, without merit.
All of that is about to change..."
There's so much content there I can't even begin to summarize it adequately.

It's been a tough week. The robots caught all the attempts overnight, but I got up early to babysit just in case after yesterday's mayhem.
