It is a rare day indeed

It is a very rare day when I click over to dKos and almost every single diary on the recommended list is about issues that are so serious I would recommend reading almost every single one. Too often the rec list is littered with the type of "rah-rah Democratic party cheerleading" junk and campaign fund raising that, while compatible to Markos stated goals for the site, are of little interest to everyone that is not in the Democratic party and that read and participate there simply because of the high quality thinking that gets put into so many issues.

Yeah... I know that we just got out of an election cycle and that is the main reason it has been so long since this is the case, but take a look at the diaries here:
