So, OK...gather 'round, folks. Time for a huddle. [View all]

I've been a member of DU for eleven (fa chrissakes) years. Been through the aftermath of 2000, and 2002, and the wonder that was 2004, and then 2006, and then 2008, and then 2010...right here. 9/11, Afghanistan, Shock & Awe, the tsunami, Katrina, the BP blowout...on and on, here.

Home base, such as it is. In those election periods, and through all the bad times, I have made friends who would walk through fire for me...and I have made enemies who would not piss on me if I were on fire in front of them.

That's how it is, for me, anyway. Through it all, however, has been DU.

Period, end of file.

The RNC starts tomorrow (kinda), and on Tuesday (for reals).

Over the next 100 hours, every television, radio, internet news site, ham radio and sub-woofer between the East and West time zones will be hemmoraging half-Nazi fascist right-wing psycho bullshit on a level heretofore unknown upon this continent. No, seriously...between the whores shilling the shit and the vipers who own the "mainstream" news paying the whores to do the shilling, you're about to experience a river of mind-numbing garbage of such mass and density that it will bend the very light.

Don't let it get to you.

Don't let it get to you.

Don't let it get even close to you.

It is going to be a long, ugly week.

Come here for your therapy. DU is the cure, the elixir, a truth I have discovered and re-discovered time and time again when presented with a detonation of nonsense like what we are about to behold.

Get ready.

Be here.
