Make sure to see the Front Page of DU today!!!

Plaid Adder makes her debut as a weekly columnist with a BEAUTIFULLY written rant called "They Hate Us For Our Freedoms". It's about same-sex marriage...
What a joy she is to read!

1. Yes, she is an excellent writer.

A must-read! We are very excited that she is writing a weekly column for DU.

8. Aw shucks.

Tis nothing. I love the little snake graphic! It looks so mischievous! My partner asked me if the snake is strangling imperialism and the patriarchy (reference to the graphic at http://www.plaidder.com ). I said, "Well, it looks like it's thinkin' about it."

Now I just have to come up with something for next week...but you know what, as long as Bush is in power, there'll always be plenty of material.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

She communicates with a strong, clear voice and I'm looking forward to reading her on the cover of DU on a regular basis.

11. Congratulations to Plaid Adder, if you see this.

I so happy to see you have a voice beyond the forums because it is a golden voice and many people who don't participate on the boards, but read the articles, will now get the benefit of your thoughts and wisdom.

[Plaid Adder]

13. Thanks, Clete--it's not actually the first time

I've been on the DU page. I've been contributing to that for about 2 years now (that was actually how I discovered the forums). It's just the first time I've been given a once-a-week spot.

I don't have URLs for all the other DU columns that went before this, but if you have time to search, here are the titles:

Laughing at Bush, Or Laughing At Us?
An Unwinnable War?
Anticipatory Self-Defense: A Modest Proposal
Iraq Attack Is Back, Jack
Beyond the Salon
How Big Was My Rally
Saving Invisible People
Shock and Disgust
Getting Serious
Guilty In Defense
Story Wars
Reality Bites
Making a Spectacle of Ourselves
Futures Shock
What's Sex Slavery Got To Do With It?
Godot Has Left The Building

That's...whoa, that's 13 articles. How the hell do I get anything done? Oh, that's right, I don't...

C ya,

The Plaid Adder
