Plus, DU has a whole new look and feel!

3. Barry White was the one I missed...

When I got on yesterday, I was like WTF??? When did Barry White die? (It was Friday, in case you missed it too. Kidney failure.)

4. and I cannot get to your "Moron or Liar" Slate.com graphic from DU1

I bookmarked the thread, but we cannot access the DU1 for a few more days. I don't know if the bookmarks will be active.

"Liar" is very topical now.

6. I'll try to repost it when I get to my home computer

I'm still on the road, in the liberal oasis of Iowa City, IA. I was here over the weekend for Jazz Fest, and there was a Kucinich booth that was very popular with the locals. No DLCers in sight.
