[...] It’s not a great surprise, then, to find the Kos speaking out of both sides of his gaping pie-hole. The infamous ’shot heard round the world’ is a mere 9 days away, yet Markos himself has prominent ties to the heretical DLC, or at least to one of its offshoots. Fundraising ties, of course. [...]

[...] Here’s an excerpt from a recent missive I received after making fun of our buddy Kos (note: I did not ask the author’s permission to print this, nor do I plan to, but I did set up my email to automatically delete any further correspondence from this misanthrope): I stumbled upon your site quite accidentally through a quality-content challenged site called instapundit.com and noticed that you had something called jackasses and was surprised not to see the individual who I consider to be the jackassh**e of the millennium: W. Shrub. How could your pathetic little intellectually challenged site commit such a glaring and thoughtless mistake? I take it the next time I stumble upon your lame excuse for a blog you will have corrected this monumental lapse in judgement. [...]

Running to the Right of Bush

Democrats have some strategic problems to face as the 2006 midterm elections draw close. Two of the country’s biggest and most influential labor organizations, the Teamsters and the Service Employees International Union, have left the AFL-CIO, taking …

How much of his traffic level is conservatives in need of a laugh?

I bet at least a third…

I check it at least 3 times a week, but interestingly, never off a link. Funnier and whinier than Doonesbury.

Clint, who knows? His traffic levels are still monstrous (supposedly, yesterday was their second biggest traffic day ever(???))….

I’d beat Kos’s super-secret plan goes something like this: They’ll run an alternate in every election with a DLC endorsed candidate. That way, under the “the worse the better” theory, they guarantee that every DLC candidate will lose (and if there is anything that Kos is an expert in its losing elections). Of course, a few more Republicans may be elected but any DLC candidate is just a Republican in disguise anyway. And the far left will be in complete control of whatever remains of the Democratic party. There may be some short-term pain but imagine the long-term gain (they will say).

Oh, the Humanity! Will Dr. Kosevil’s dastardly plots never cease?

What’s the story with the new design? Did Kos drop because of a change in the criteria, rather than actually losing readers/linkers?

Clint, you’re on the right track, but you just barely missed it…the real story is how Kos has made me completely disappear from the Ecosystem! I had built up to about #280 (I thought that was pretty respectable), but ever since the changeover to the new design, I’m gone! (I’ve let N.Z. Bear know, but no response yet)….

I think I finally figured out what’s going on with KOS’s new super-secret plan to destroy the DLC.

I haven’t looked at the truth laid bear “ecosystem” in quite some time, and was bowled away when I looked at it earlier today. In my recollection from perhaps a year ago, Kos topped the chart by a factor of three over instapudit. Now Kos is in third, behind IP and (a bigger shock, to me — showing how out of date I am) Michelle Malkin.

How many blogger-links do you think Kos is getting out of his super-secret-war-plan? And how much more do you think whatever he does will gain even more attention?

He’s a nutcase whose candidates have always lost. Ignore him — he’ll hate that far more than insults.

Given Kos’ perfect record for endorsements, this bodes well for the DLC.
