Me on Richard Hofstadter, Lincoln, FDR and Obama.

    Lundy Aguilar, a classmate of the Castro brothers at Colegio de Delores in Santiago, wrote El Profeta in 1986.  Here’s an excerpt:

      “Don’t argue with them ever.  Cubans are born inherently wise.  They don’t need to read, they know everything.  They don’t need to travel, they have seen everything.  The Cubans are the chosen people. . . chosen by themselves.  They pass among lesser peoples like a ghost passing over water.

    . . . .

      Cubans are characterized individually by their sympathy and intelligence and as a group by their shouting and passion.  Every one of them carries the spark of genius and no geniuses are tolerated.  That’s why it is easy to reunite Cubans, and impossible to unite them.”

  2. Billmon’s What a tangled web we weave
    Devilstower’s “this could cost me my job”

    And me – I’ll let someone else choose (but just for Armando, I think the “Maryscott Affair would fit, ;-))

    Best title ever: http://www.dailykos….

  5. Well, my best ever has to be Naked dKos! w/ Poll

  6. Little Girl Lost in response to the South Dakota barbaric anti-woman abortion law of 2006. I guess it struck a cord of significance since it was on the Rec List at Orange for 24+ hours last year.

    Mostly I just lurk and write soft thought stuff…

  7. Thinking back, I did have fun writing:

    One time, on dKos

    But even though it got lots o’ recs, it never did make the list, perhaps limiting the audience. I remember having fun writing it, although I wouldn’t say it was my best work.

    Also, looking back at it, Buhdy showed up (thanks) as did several other names we see here.

    And Big A, you were one of the Stars of the Show, in case you never saw it.

    Cheers.

  8. … one of my favorites that I wrote was this diary about Obama I wrote back in July of 2006.

    Compared to the cannibalization going on in candidate diaries these days, the disagreements in mine were almost quaint!

  9. 5,864,533,994 blog posts since Al Gore invented the Internets, so it will take me awhile to select which one I think is the best. This assessment by Fred Phelps of everyone in the world except Fred Phelps is not likely to be in my top ten:

    “You’re just a hysterical nincompoop, like all the rest of them.”

    i will never forget

  10. Never heard of that one before, seems to be your favorite though 😉

  11. Buy Blue is born in this diary…

    In this diary we are so angry after the 2004 election…and a number of people started buyblue.org (now moved on differently). Yet it was a real moving force and people have changed their shopping habits and corporations have changed their donation practices.

    The people I met and worked with are still part of my life. The impact of buying progressive will forever be part of my life.

    And it was born of community action in the blogosphere…November 3, 2004.

  12. There’s Real Climate and my new guest science editor status on The Environmentalist (they just added several of us to keep up with climate events around the world), which makes me biased toward any posts on those:
