Daily Kos


I have been a long time lurker here at DKos. Finally decided to get my own account and start rating and commenting. I'm gay, Hispanic, live in Oakland, was born in the late 70's and my political compass is -5.13,-3.08

Drink the Kool Aid

Thu Mar 06, 2008 at 09:02:44 PM PDT

As an Obama supporter, it really annoys me whenever I see a Clinton supporter say that we're just drinking the Kool-Aid. Recently, though, I've been thankful that this phrase has been turned back towards the Clinton camp.

Still, on a recent trip to supermarket I passed the Kool-Aid section and noticed all the wonderful flavors of Kool-Aid and wondered what flavor Kool-aid would be most appropriate to either camp.

2008 Hyperbole Awards - Hillary Edition

Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 01:39:49 AM PDT

As we all know by now, Hilary won the New Hampshire primary (go Hillary!). Even though I'm leaning towards Obama,  I personally think it's an exciting win for her and the Democratic party.

However, from what I've read on the various Open Threads and diaries there are many people quite upset at her win. The negativity displayed by them makes me wonder if Hilary herself came to their house, took away all their candy and left them with a bunch of sour grapes.

Follow me below the fold for the 2008 Hyperbole Awards, Hillary Edition.

Where are the doggie pics?

Fri Jul 06, 2007 at 02:53:21 PM PDT

Let me start off by saying that I love cats. The only pets I've ever had have been cats and hamsters. However, I also love dogs. Especially cute little puppies with their sweet little puppy-eyes. Now, it's no secret that there is an abundance of cute little kitties on Dkos...

I can see your license plate on Google Maps.

Wed May 30, 2007 at 08:34:14 PM PDT

Playing around with Google Earth isn't enough for you? Take a look at Google Maps new feature - Street View. In selected portions of major cities you can get down on the ground and check out the view from street level. Not only can you see store fronts, houses, trees and people walking by but you can zoom in enough to see oil stains on the street, license plates on cars, panhandler's signs and pigeons on the street.
