Thank you Daily Kos!
It's been a whole week since the 'tar and feathering' of our dear colleague Benjamin Heine at Daily Kos. The fuss has more or less died down after days of postings throughout the Web, on Blogs, on News sites, on almost every progressive site throughout the world.
This has resulted in an increase in the readership for all involved in the 'rallying of troops' to Ben's defense. It has also resulted in many other sites, truly democratic ones, to add links of our blogs onto their sites.

Hello H4P,
It's been ages. Love all the great pieces and links you have. Thought I'd share something from a recently departed "friend."

Best regards!

And you are proud of this?
Blazing cat fur,
Better then standing on the sidelines with a picket up your bottom, talking out of the back of your head; hoping for someone to hear you.
Lancethruster,
Hello Lancethruster,
I agree it has been a long time, I was wondering many times how you are? Thank you for thinking I am still doing good, when you sent on this other side as you know you wonder and need that little boost of kindness once in awhile.
Thank you so much for sharing from your friend and I am sorry for the loss.
Best regards to you too,
H4P
How sweet of you to remember me. The "friend" I spoke of was American author and humanist Kurt Vonnegut. I only "know" him through his books. He had a marvelous outlook on the things humanity could be doing in a so much better fashion. In the years leading up to his death, he was quite despondent over how badly some people muck things up for everyone else.
One of the things he said was to appreciate all the moments in our lives where one could say, "If this isn't nice, what is?"
I admire and respect your efforts and am honored to be one of the people who has had the opportunity to interact with you. Your friendship helps me feel I'm doing something to help someone who really *is* doing something (you).
If this isn't nice, what is?
LanceThruster,
Everything is nice and it is good to meet you and have a friend.
Thank you for thinking so kind of me. Means a lot too, for you are a good person, too.
