No More Kos

You'll notice that in a recent bout of housecleaning I removed the link to Daily Kos from my right nav bar. I did this for two reasons. First, the site has become a magnet for the tinfoil-hat part of the left, the kind of people who think that corporate satellites are really earthquake generators controlled by the Illuminati with the assistance of the Goldfish Fanciers. The kind of people who will cite some jackasses blog as a credible source of information and then screech and call you a tool when you dare question the authenticity of their information.

Second, it has completely lost its focus, largely due to the above. My main problem with the left is that it has no focus; it simply limps everywhere like a sick octopus, trying to stick its tentacles into everything and doing nothing effectively. Part of this is because everyone in the left has their OWN PET PROJECT that must be achieved at the expense of everyone else's PET PROJECTs. So if you want to SAVE THE WHALES, then you could care less about ATROCITIES IN PALESTINE, and if you want to FREE TIBET, then you could care less about REDUCING CORPORATE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

Feh, I say, feh.
