Welcome New Users: NYT Magazine on Trolls
Fri Aug 15, 2008 at 08:07:48 PM PDT
Welcome, New Users, to The Daily Kos. This Diary is intended to help you orient yourself to the site and ask questions about how to use it.
In the Body you will find some links intended to get you participating more effectively. Also in the Body this week is a discussion of the New York Times Magazine on Trolls.
After that you can ask me any question you want. I don't know all the answers so if you stump me, you do. I invite those wiser than I to contribute and correct (or raise a ruckus, just don't scare people).
No permission slips needed, join us at the deep end of the pool for adult swim.
An American Carol

So I ran across this while surfing Yahoo News-
You'll note it's from the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol's rag.
David Zucker is doing an allegorical remake of A Chrismas Carol called An American Carol, which like Ben Stein's Expelled is supposed to combat left wing Hollywood bias.
Oh and it's entertaining and funny and will make money too. This is Hollywood baby. Would I lie to you?
Spoilers below the fold.

You may remember my brother the activist. I keep trying to get him to post, but he's shy and busy. He sent me this yesterday and I thought I'd share it with you.- ek

dday has a highly recommended reprint of his Hullabaloo (digby's place) piece on the Rec List right now.
I have collected some of Glenn Greenwald's recent pieces on the subject for my readers on DocuDharma and I thought I'd share them with you here too.

So will you please say hello to the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go,
I was singing this song...

There's no words there!
What does that mean- "to play us out"?
I can't do this.
WE'LL DO IT LIVE!
