But I'll post it anyway.
Greetings, DU,
I've been reading DU since the summer of 2008, when I found it somewhat calming to know that not everyone in America thought Sarah Palin was just awesome.
I've resisted the temptation to join DU for at least two reasons:
1. I tend to become obsessive
2. I'm rather curmudgeonly and don't always play well with the other children
Both of which can wreak havoc with me and others. But apparently I've run out of willpower, so here i am.
I've read some DUers disparaging MSNBC, and I don't get that. I think Rachel Maddow does an amazing job of clearly laying out a case for nearly every issue she covers. I feel the same about Chris Hayes, who I think is also a massively impressive ring master.
I also have a soft spot, some may say in my brain, for my fellow loud Irishmen Lawrence O'Donnell and Chris Matthews. I like Ed and Al, as well, and some of the newer ones seem good, too. But, I already watch too much damn tv (usually while doing other things, but still...) to get hooked on any more shows.
In addition to my MSNBC commitments, I have a one-hour-per-day, four-days-a-week session with Jon Stewart and, my hero, Stephen Colbert
Well, that's more than enough about me to start with. Thanks for having me and I hope you don't have to kick me out too soon.
