Thank you Earl G and all the ships at sea that make this news gathering area work

[Peacetrain]

I am so thankful for the news round-up and comment rooms that the Democratic Underground provides.. I do not post much anymore or even get on the computer for more than 5 or 10 minutes because of some vision issues. But for almost 18 years ( as of April) now I can always pull up my favorite corner "newsstand on the internet" and get the news.

1. I came here a month after you..the Obama campaign..

and discovered this little island of sanity in the chaos.

I nominate EarlG for a heroism award for his part in making this happen. Maybe he could go to the White House to receive his award. On second thought that wouldn't work, because Mango Mussolini would keep it.

3. Like you I have some vision issues but come here

once a day or so to find smart, like minded people. Thank goodness for DU.

4. I've been dropping in for over 20 years

It is great to be around like-minded and informed people, especially during the rough times...like now actually.

5. Completely agree!

first thing I look at in the morning.. "Jump to latest breaking news"

second thing.. "Is he dead yet?"

Then I turn on Stephanie Miller.

6. I agree Peacetrain and thank you Earl G. I am a news junkie and scroll around the internet off and onn all day.

I come here to DU at least three times a day for a sanity check.
