I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn’t understand why the President would be going to Iraq when so many things are wrong in this country. “Doesn’t Mr. Bush care about us anymore?” she asked pitifully.
I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why the President seems to be abandoning his country. “Honey, I think his boss, Mr. Rove, sent Mr. Bush out of the country in order to keep himself out of the newspapers. You see, he wasn’t sure if he was going to be arrested today or not, and so he planned Mr. Bush’s trip ahead of time just in case...”
I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessness were just too much. I think my daughter could tell something was wrong. I found myself at such a loss for words - nothing made any sense; nothing makes sense anymore. I finally had to admit, “Honey, I just don’t know - I don’t know what’s going on in this country anymore...”
When I finished her lower lip started to tremble and her eyes began to fill with tears, “Daddy” she said, “why are the Republicans doing this to the country?” Well, that was it for me: I finally fell apart. She just fell into my arms and we both began sobbing for several minutes.
For once she had to comfort me and get me back on my feet. Sometimes I just think it’s too much, but seeing the strength in my young daughter’s voice helped me to get through.

While I'm sure it is, I've attended more than a few lectures and heard more than a few conversations where these sentiments (if not their exaggerated tone) were pretty closely echoed.

Thank you for this. Hopefully " I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago" will become just as big as "One day, as I was browsing around the library downtown".

I love the exchange that follows it.
"This is getting old.
Crying with your daughter on the sofa again? Like on April 19? or April 27th? or May 11th?
It is always the same post! Enough with the lip beginning to tremble and eyes filling with tears.

"I'm simply not going to apologize for loving and comforting my daughter.
She happens to be very concerned about the course of this country and if you want to make fun of that, well, good for you.
There's just not enough time to always be writing a new story each and every time something happens, and since this is what happened, it seems fair. Since we lost her mother there hasn't been a lot of free time around here.
Bottle-feeding newborns is like forcing them to smoke cigarettes.
It is WORD FOR WORD. You just keep recycling the same post with the same emotional overtones.
I don't understand what your trying to achieve. Just jonesing for some mojo? Trying to play some sort of pity card? I don't get it.
Do whatever you want to do bro... just seems a little weird.
I'll see you again in a few weeks the next time you don't think you've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on your daughter's face. "Why do the Kossacks troll rate you Daddy?" she'll ask pitifully.
You'll sit down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) try to explain to her why DailyKos values honesty and creativity and has little patience for trite mojo hunters. "Honey, I think a lot of them are Trusted Users and know how to search the archives. You see, they have the ability to troll rate people they think are frauds."
You'll tryd to keep your voice steady, but it will become increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessness are just too much. I think your daughter will be able to tell something is wrong. You'll find yourself at such a loss for words - nothing makes any sense; nothing makes sense anymore. You'll finally have to admit, "Honey, I just don't know - I don't know why I waste people time on Open Threads anymore..."
When you finish her lower lip will start to tremble and her eyes will begin to fill with tears, "Daddy" she said, "why don't you just try to write original posts for a change?" Well, that will be it for you: You will finally fall apart. She'll just fall into your arms and you'll both begin sobbing for several minutes.

I don't think I've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn't understand why the President would be spying on everyone. "Even my Grandma?" she asked pitifully.
I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why the President has ordered a group of spies to collect information on every American. "And yes honey, even Grandma", I was forced to say.
I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessnes were just too much. I think my daughter could tell something was wrong. I found myself at such a loss for words - nothing made any sense; nothing makes sense anymore.

I don't think I've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago.
I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why the Senate Republicans want to drain the treasury in order to give every American a $100 check. I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessnes were just too much. I think my daughter could tell something was wrong. I found myself at such a loss for words - nothing made any sense; nothing makes sense anymore. I finally had to admit, "Honey, I just don't know - I don't know what's going on in this country anymore..."
the rest is the same
and another
I'm just glad this farce is finally coming to an end. I was watching the news with my daughter when the story broke. When McClellan's image first came up on the screen she first let out a little shriek thinking that something horrible was about to be announced. When I explained to her that in fact, that bad man was finally going to go away, she let out the happiest yell I've heard her make in quite a long time... "Yeaaaaaaahh!!!"
I couldn't believe how elated she was. But then I think the emotion of the moment started to get the best of her. All the pain that this administration has inflicted upon the world started to sink in and overcome her initial excitement. What began as a few half-hearted snufflings finally turned into outright sobs. Well, that was it for me to. I started crying right along with her. We sat on the sofa together holding each other crying softly comforting eachother as best we can in these dark times.

There's a hundred reasons to think less of YLS, my appreciation for flame on the DailyKos comments is the least of them. The fact that a number of responses to his comment sympathized with his fake story is probably the most damning part of it.

This thread is pathetic. The fringe views of Republicans have already been repudiated by the American people in the 2006 elections. Your sick brand of humor works among yourselves, but has no impact beyond your insular group. Welcome to the real world, biyatches.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn’t understand why RatIV would say such awful things. “Doesn’t RatIV care about us anymore?” she asked pitifully.
I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why RatIV seems to be abusing Republican posters. “Honey, I think he simply cannot appreciate good flame...”
