Kos biography
The San Francisco Chronicle has a fine article on Daily Kos’ creator Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. It includes the most complete biography on Markos I’ve ever seen. If you admire this guy as much as I do, check it out.
This bit reminded me of Jurassic Pork’s post last week, Walk the Line. JP, does this sound familiar?
As Daily Kos has taken off, life has changed for the family. Elisa said her husband has gotten death threats. A couple of her friends who have Republican spouses no longer want to socialize with them because of what’s on the blog.
“Me, I never talk about politics or religion with somebody unless I know we agree,” Elisa said, who doesn’t visit Daily Kos every day. “But Markos, he likes to debate everything. He’ll say, ‘I can’t believe you feel that way. That’s so stupid.’ ”
Anyway . . . I have a committee meeting tonight, so I may or may not have the energy to blog. Stay tuned.
Have I mentioned our upcoming trip to Las Vegas? Jake and I will be in Vegas from the 12th to the 16th, something like that. Karen’s still recovering from her fractures, so she gets to take a pass on this. As for Jake and I, our main goal is to make it to Red Rock Canyon for some rockclimbing. That, and go to a REAL bookstore.
D.
jeez, poor Karen. She needs more scones.
Sacral insufficiency fractures. Apparently, they heal very slowly. Getting better slooooowly.
I only visit Daily Kos when you or Kate link to it. The last time I have to admit to being quite annoyed by the subject (which of course I only remember in the vaguest of terms).. some republican frindly site taking a swipe at some liberal journalist or blogger (Lane? ) I followed the link, and frankly, couldn’t find an attack or anything like it that rated the amount of blind ire represented in the kos comments… made me afeared, vewy afeared.

Oh, yeah. I feel his pain…
