On twitter just now, Markos says:

***** Holy shit -- big news coming tomorrow or Wednesday. GOOD news, for a change. And yes, I'll remain annoyingly vague about it.

Markos Moulitsas (I may have misspelled it), founder of www.dailykos.com

[MUAD_DIB]

34. Oops.

[lame54]

30. about 30,000 of them

[Bozita]

35. With government-run healthcare?

[kenny blankenship]

BYOP (Bring Your Own Plasma) Knowledge of wheelchair navigation a plus.

[DBoon]

37. In Afghanistan? (nt)

[Speck Tater]

4. The Mayan calendar for 2013 and beyond has been found. End of the world called off. nt

[Orrex]

7. Oh great.

That means I'll have to deal with my student loans after all. Thanks for nothing, Kos!

[RedCloud]

14. Bizarre Aztec calendar for 2014 found! Rest of Universe except Earth to die

[dysfunctional press]

[NYC_SKP]

[27inCali]

I can hear his voice. haha

[Kookaburra]

19. Further Nife and Accurate Prophecies?

[Hekate]

26. Agnes Nutter, is that you?

:rofl: I love that book.

Hekate

[Withywindle]

44. The Earth is a Libra!

I love that book so much.

[nadinbrzezinski]

42. Damn it so I will have to call the end of the world party OFF????

Damn it, I hope guests read the twitter

:-)

[Bucky]

50. You can still have the party, but you just have to murder all your guests at midnight.

You can make it an Agatha Christie themed party and no one will even bother about the slow steady disappearances

[nadinbrzezinski]

57. Good point

a murder mystery...

COOL!

[tridim]

6. He's probably getting a show.

But I hope it's better news than that.

[tblue]

11. Oy! nt

[Cha]

8. Waiting with bated breath for

an update.:)

[dave29]

12. big news for progressives.

I hope so :)

[Brickbat]

9. He must be an older sibling.

I hate the whole "I know! But can't tell! But trust me, it's BIG!!!11!!" breathless crap that passes as reporting on some blogs.

[Robb]

10. LOL

"He must be an older sibling." :rofl:

[Brickbat]

20. And I say that as an older sibling!

I say it because I recognize it!

[Fuzz]

13. DailyKos was bought out by Murdoch

;)

[NYC_SKP]

16. Ever Read His "Hate Mail-Apalooza"??? I can't quote it, too nas-tay! But here's a link.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/6/27/747350/-Saturday-hate-mail-apalooza


Woof!

[lob1]

27. That was very sick and yet funny. Everything he labeled

as "FACT:" was in fact an opinion. He also mentions "logic" a few times, yet never once used it.

[NYC_SKP]

31. Gotta love the greeting, "dear socialist fuckstick,"..

I never knew of this Kos feature.

:P

[Bozita]

36. The poll at the link is a real beauty ...

Poll
My favorite part of this email was:

"dear socialist fuckstick"
"you are thusly a pro forma socialist", not understanding what "pro forma" means
"SOCIALISM CANNOT WORK OR RUSSIA WOULD STILL EXIST"
"you, sir, are a illegal immigrant. i dont give two shits whether you are an american citizen or not:"
"go back to guatemala or whatever fucking middleeastern asshole you came from"
"no proof, just science and that makes it true for you liberals"
"i dont think you are a homo, just a homo enabler"
"sincerely yours"
This email can't possibly be real. It's a fake.

17. Hmmmmmm

It's supposed to be long term and good news for progressives.

Is he finally going to stop-loss gay service members who are about to get the boot under DADT?

[havocmom]

21. Patriot Act kaput?

Gonna let it expire?

[Neecy]

25. Could be that, too

It would nice to be thrown a bone on occasion, particularly after an escalation in Afghanistan that's unpopular with his base.

[stevedeshazer]

18. What? Palin and Beck are forming a turd party?

The mind reels at the possibilities.

[nevergiveup]

22. In his speech tomorrow night Obama will announce the termination of DADT

Just a hunch

[leftstreet]

24. Harry Reid is resigning? n/t

[Catshrink]

28. Or stripping Holy Joe of his chairmanship

and kicking his sorry ass out of the caucus.

[Bluebear]

29. Congress will refuse to fund troop surge?

[deutsey]

32. I've seen these "OMG" alerts many times before.

I'll reserve enthusiasm/interest until we get more details.

[MilesColtrane]

38. He just saved a bundle on car insurance?

[liberalmuse]

39. I HATE when people do this!

I hope it's the end of DADT. It has to be big. I mean, Markos TWEETED it, beginning with a profanity (how many liberals do that???), therefore his news must be of the utmost importance. :eyes:

[AVID]

41. I know...It's never as good as I anticipate.

[SheilaT]

40. In the past every time we've had one of these

"Something big is happening" teasers it's turned out to be nothing.

[Brickbat]

43. I'm holding my still-wrapped Fitzmas present to my heaving bezoom just in case.

You never know!

[madrchsod]

45. yawn....

[L0oniX]

46. She's going to sell her shoe collection on Ebay?

[Sparkly]

47. General Clark is taking charge at the Pentagon?

Now THAT would be great news to me!

[renate]

52. true dat!

:thumbsup:

[NYC Liberal]

48. No more DADT. Where do I place my bet? nt

[saltpoint]

49. Maybe it will be a Wells Fargo Wagon of good things, among them

that Mark Sanford, David Vitter, and John Ensign will all step down in a trifecta news conference;

that evidence will emerge directly implicating Dick Cheney in the Plame/Wilson incident leading to Cheney's arrest, the first of many indictments for several yet-to-come offenses;

that Phil Donahue will return to cable news with a program on MSNBC;

that Antonin Scalia will resign, effective immediately, from SCOTUS;

that Roberts will resign, effective immeidately, from SCOTUS;

that a large pack of feral dogs has burst thru the sliding patio door at Clarence Thomas' house and dragged his sorry ass out into the wilderness and savagely dumped him into a bottomless hole never to be heard from again;

that Tom Cruise will finally get the behavioral health support he has needed for a good many years;

that three never-heard Nick Drake albums have been discovered in a London attic;

and

that a lab breakthrough has resulted in medical vaccines for HIV, most cancers, and most dementias.

[inna]

51. i hope Markos is right. Let's revisit this thread tomorrow. nt

[Postman]

54. Obama's breaking up the banks? Bringing the troops home? Pushing Single-Payer?

If it ain't any of those.....then it's not big news....

[kenny blankenship]

56. Probably insurance related

I almost said "health care reform"! Brainwashing is strong stuff. Anyway, it'll probably be about the insurance giveaway and it will still be a bowl of shit - but now there'll be sprinkles and nuts on top! GET EXCITED!

[wisteria]

55. This seems like a ploy to get us all to flock over to Daily Kos for a lookee. n/t

[Orrex]

58. Kick?

Anything?

[Orrex]

59. So... Did this turn out to be anything?

Anything?




Bueller?

[Stephanie]

60. I'm guessing he meant the NY State Marriage Equality vote

He was convinced it would pass.

[Orrex]

61. Oh.

Well, that would have been good news, for a change.
