Ask A Kossack

One of the most impressive things about YOU, fellow Kossaks, is the breadth of knowledge YOU have accumulated.  Smarts spanning from aardvarks to Zymurgy.  If you ask a question on Dkos, ANY question, it WILL be answered, at the very least with a link or a clue!
The Daily Kos is truly a cornucopia of information.  So much so that it can be like Sipping from a firehose!.  I don’t want to try to tell you how to use it!!!  So here is Not buhdydharma’s New User’s Guide to dKos!.  The best guide to Dkos ever written IMHO!  And for a list of GOOD series on Dkos have a look at this part of the FAQ!  Yes dkos is Wunnerful and with these few extra gems of wisdom in hand, you may peruse its pulchritude at your pleasure!

Any Questions?

So, what IS your question?  If I can’t answer it someone else will!  Silly questions  Serious questions.  Big questions.  Small questions.  Bring em on !
PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS IS A  COOPERATIVE EFFORT!!! MAKE SURE YOU TRY TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS WHILE YOU ARE HERE!!!
BTW 42 is NOT the meaning of life, my favorite color is blue, no,  green (I’m still here!), and tying fruit of any kind to swallows is indicative of a very peculiar and rare psychosexual disease….seek help! While speculating on the airspeed of UNLADEN swallows is a far milder form….I still urge you to examine your soul!  For those who have no idea what I am talking about I urge YOU to …Ask A Kossak!

And now for something completely different-

French Taunting

Oh, you wanted an argument.

See.  You know more already!

Your First Question- Now w/Free Answer!

Yin Yang

So where is budhy?

budhy is now safely at his new undisclosed location.  Because of difficulties establishing secure communications he is reduced to smoke signals (translated by the local shaman).

Or that’s what he says, it would be just like him to leave me chained to this wheel forever.

Blatant Editorializing!

What’s up with you?

I mean seriously, I’ve been busy this last couple of weeks, haven’t mixed it up in the comments as much as I normally do, but I do read.  A lot.

You’re down in the mouth, discouraged, ready to give up and capitulate quicker than a Congressional Democrat.

Screw that.

THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

This is our situation, and who will may know it.

By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils-
* a ravaged country
* a depopulated city
* habitations without safety
* and slavery without hope

Our homes turned into barracks and bawdy-houses for Hessians, and a future race to provide for, whose fathers we shall doubt of.

Look on this picture and weep over it! and if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not, let him suffer it unlamented.

Tom Paine, The Crisis

Read it again, especially the parts about Torys.

Some people, even in our own party are-

Just.  Plain.  Stupid.

There you have it.  42.  The meaning of life, the universe, and well… everything.

Living in a world of idiots (and we all do) is difficult because you have to be very patient and explain things over and over again.

Slowly.

In small words that are easy to understand.

Here’s what John Kerry (yes that one) came to say to us this week-

But the main question is: what can we do about it? I’m going to make this case in any way I can. Television, newspapers, you name it. There’s no magic bullet to this; we simply need to apply as much pressure as possible in as many ways as possible. I’ll be back with some specific actions from time to time because concerted action by many people toward a single goal gets the best results. But do as much as you can all the time. Drop by your representatives’ office and let them know your feelings. Write, call, fax, email, get in contact any way you can. These actions aren’t glamorous, but they really do make a difference. And don’t lose faith. The other side in this debate is intent on outlasting us, convinced that we’ll give up. You and I have to make sure that they are wrong on that.

Anyone who gives up now is as cowardly as the most craven Bush Dog.

I’m not here to talk with whiners, but with warriors.

I want you

    1) about the software iGrabIt for Macs.  Anyone know of a comparable video capture utility for PC’s?

    2) audio:  I need some audio equipment – a cassette player/recorder and an amplifier.  Something combining both with several inputs and outputs is what I have in mind.  Where do I look?  (Nothing available locally, but someone’ll order for me if I tell ’em what I want…)

    Dodd is killing.

    Trust me all you monolinguists.

    You won’t believe the outrageous things all the other canidates are saying. They have offended every possible person you can imagine.

    Dodd, on the other hand, sounds like a combination of Lincoln and FDR.
     

  4. What happened to stragety and poll readings?

    Why is it now a pep rally of the sheeple for a third-rate candidate that is trying to reinvent himself as Paul Wellstone?

  5. and a coward at the same time? If so sign me up.
