Starting a Firestorm (4.00 / 4)

Ramen! I posted an entry at my humble blog (keres, I used your duck feather via my photobucket account, hope that's okay).

I'll write a diary up at MyDD and Political Cortex. I don't have name recognition at Kos, perhaps someday.

I'll also drop a note to Atrios and John at AmericaBlog.

Who else? Let's get this party started!!!!

Links to my diaries:

Political Cortex - link

If I'm not mistaken, Cedwyn posts over at DemBloggers, let me see if I can dig up her email and see if she would be willing to spread the word.

If you have your own blog, write up an entry!

Re: MyDD and Political Cortex (4.00 / 4)

Recommeded at mydd.com. Don't forget to do the same everyone! I found that, when I first started reading mydd, my dailykos login worked there too, so I didn't have to create a new one!

Re: Starting a Firestorm (4.00 / 2)

Manny. Your write up about it is great. I'd elect you or Sally Cat to do the dKos write up. Let's get started early, so we might still get on the list and get some faxes to them today. I'm e-maling the cat.

Re: Starting a Firestorm (4.00 / 2)

I want to help, but I have to go out around 5:30 eastern and won't be around to reco after that.

Re: Starting a Firestorm (4.00 / 2)

I'm suggesting that we might move up our launch time for dKos to 4:00 p.m. Anyone who can e-mail Manny or Sally Cat and ask them if they can do it by then, that would be cool. I like Manny's summaries very much. And Sally Cat had been kind enough to offer to do one a dKos. So if one of them will by 4:00. A cut and paste job from Manny's earlier work. With an addendum that they can get faxes in today, or start fresh tomorrow. Does anyone have their e-mail? Can you get me an answer so we can start whipping up a Booswarm. Thanks again for assistance today CG.

I defer to SallyCat (4.00 / 3)

or someone else. I don't have the name recognition over at the DKos. I'll be there to recommend and comment though! That always seems to gain attention from me when I'm looking at the Recent Diaries list (lotsa comments)

Re: I defer to SallyCat (4.00 / 2)

Okay Manny. So we just need to hear from Sally Cat, to see if she can do it at 4:00 or maybe not until 6:00. Paging Sally Cat. Customer in ailse 4 looking for feathers.

Re: Starting a Firestorm (4.00 / 2)

FYI -- It is a 6:00pm EST/3:00pm PST launch at orange place. Via SallyCat. Sorry we'll miss you. The orange glow about your face does so much to enhance your look.
