Now what would be really cool would be for Colman to get the (freely available) code from here and install it on the machine that runs the wiki...

Jerome look at this.

Apparently my critque of Robert Rubin's Neo-liberal economic policies was not alone.  Rubin was grilled by the freshman representatives.

I was sort of suprised when I  got an "explanatory" email that had been written by a Pelosi staffer.

These last two days have been hell for me, because I thought that my country was consigned to be  a willing victim of neo-liberal policies.

The majority of the people in my country don't want more of these failed policies, but when we speak.  Even at "progessive websites" we get shouted down. But now the elected representatives of the people shouted back.  Follow the link, the quote from the meeting are priceless.

I'm a happy man, Jerome.

And, as I wrote in another thread, my most recommended diaries on dKos (just like youes this time) were also those that were the most violently criticized - so there clearly is frustration and a big, ignored, constituency which is begging for voices to speak for it.

So, are you going to write a retort to your critics on DKos?

I sort of feel like just staying away, but it's when people are silent that the minority gets to present itself as the majority.

Migeru is right -- this is a perfect time to diary this on dKos. Everyone over there has been primed to be anti-DLC; now's your chance to educate them on why  neo-liberalism is so dangerous.

I don't know.

I'm tired, and I'm not sure I want to deal with the nitpicking and the stress that I feel that comes with being the person to do that.

I'm fairly certain that if I post the diary I want I will be shown the door.  I've always tried to keep a comfortable distance between my bloglife, and my real life.  I'm not sure I want one to bleed into the other.  I'm honestly concerned what the implications for my real life are if my blog life bleeds through.

And honestly I have other things I should really be working on.

So post it and test your hypothesis. You'll always be welcome here ;-)

Shown the door by who? us? unless you're going to suggest that the best thing to happen is a thousand year american  reich, compulsory genetic testing with sterilisation of the genetically impure, that's extremely unlikely (and even then you'd at least be listened to first)

If youre worried about real life then there are always other ways. My email address is always a handy repository for information that needs scrubbing of information. (in fact theres at least one person whose website details lead entirely back to me to cover their traces from their employers, and I do have to turn down the occasional tv or radio appearence on their behalf)  I know that I am not the only person on this board who would be willing to post things up here on your behalf, if you wish to  get things out here.
