MY LEFT WING Takes Flight

After three days of very helpful beta testing, it seems that My Left Wing is ready for its Launch.

So here we go, folks. Inspired by my Blogfather, Markos, and his stunningly succesful and fabulous political blog, Daily Kos, My Left Wing is both a spin-off and homage to Daily Kos.

Now, Daily Kos is a Democratic blog, its focus primarily on Democrats and rebuilding the Democratic Party '

Congratulations on your new blog. and to the extent that you feel positive about dailykos and want to pay homage to markos, good for you.

i think, however, that you may be the first person on this site to mention dkos. so i feel the need to balance your praise of that site with the reality that many of us here feel quite differently. many of us here have very strong negative opinions about dailykos.

we welcome you, and your positive opinions about dkos. i just felt the need, since you are the first to mention that site, to acknowledge that many here have strong opinions to the contrary.

again, welcome.

TOTALLY get the strong opinions to the contrary thing.

I have strong opinions to the contrary, as well. but insofar as Markos is the reason my blog exists, in a Genesisian way, I do think I owe him that much respect. I have a LOT of problems with Markos and I guess I could indulge in verbalizing them... but it wouldn't serve any purpose, so I elect to keep my mouf shut about it...

Maybe someday over coffee in real life... : )

im sure if i had a potential chance of some kind of future "stipend" from the democratic party couresty of "whomever" i'd keep my "mouf" shut too.

funny, from the little i know about you keeping your "mouf" shut isnt your style, now is it?

well it isn't mine either.

of course we dont blog for money or party purposes here at our word. what about you mary scott?

have you ever been paid for blogging?

have you ever taken money from the democratic party?

And would add Billmon to that "roster"... but then I remember Daily Kos when Billmon was a weekend blogger. As if it matters... ;)

And I still recommend Billmon's LAT editorial on "Blogging Sells and Sells Out"

LOL I have recommended it to others, too, who felt they "owed" Kos something. Or they mistook him for a [cough] friend.

Blogging is full of endlessly refreshed naivete.
