Most of us have found DU to get quick news information so it is invaluable in that respect.

I admit to posting some "freeper" type of threads on occasion if for no other purpose than to mock and ridicule them. I've kind of taken on the role as a reporter in the Texas Group since I've been unemployed and was providing home health care for my father before he passed away. Reporting that news is a task made a lot easier because of all of the right-wing nuts in Texas.
