For those who are wondering if the Obama candidacy is having an impact on the rest of the world see below the fold.

This sounds like April fools but it's not. today Ella H posted this http://www.dailykos.com/... about the sale of Antioch college. I am proposing that we, as kossacks, buy it!

After comments, I have changed the title. The previous title was "Buy Dkos a College" and this was confusing. What I meant is that as a community we have the financial ability to actually buy a college. It would obviously take the development of an entity to deal with the financial  part of it, such as a 501c-3, but people here are resourceful. This is meant as a call-out to those who think it is worth the trouble, those who may think they can contribute expertise and anyone who is willing to see an effort like this.

According to a comment below, the college is not actually for sale, but the current admins are trying actively to kill it so the assets can be sold.  Accckkk!

Tired of the attacks. What about HRC's spiritual guidance? I know this diary is somewhat fact free, but I'm asking for some community action and help cause I just don't have time.

My own real life experience with Chicago and race with cab drivers and a real life chicago cop.

This historic moment is not by accident--the people of DailyKos have played an instrumental part in bringing it about and the rest of the diary is my attempt to thank all of you for what you have given me and, I think many others.

First post for me so be gentle. Or not. After reading the crap today have at it. I have a thick skin.

I have been reading ravenously over the last few weeks because this is a great time for the democratic party and for progressive causes. We have seen caucuses in Iowa where white people voted for a black candidate. We have seen turnout of democratic voters that dwarfs the republican response. And as of today we have at least a partial victory on the protection of our rights in the FISA debate. So why am I writing?
