Well, since we are still waiting for skinner to get her up and running I have been pondering a few election related items. Most notable in my mind is my complete disappointment that Hillary had to cancel her fireworks display scheduled in lower Manhattan last Tuesday. I was so looking forward to fake bombs bursting in air above the transparent ceiling at the Javits Center. So much symbolism lost forever how will I survive?
...
The New York Times has issued a statement that it is going to get back to it's main mission of reporting news honestly. This I confess confuses me, does this mean that they are going to start publishing stories on how mean Donald Trump is? I hope so because all that Hillary bashing has me disheartened.

The real bomb-bursts were inside the Javits Center.

The Times is playing weak lip-service to the few MSM mea culpas like that of Will Rahn at CBS, but without acknowledging that they, the NYT, had committed on a massive scale what used to be journalistic mortal sins. The NYT is hoping to fool people. They might have a little success with those who only awakened recently to their massive partisanship. But I think those who have watched it for years or decades will take the Missouri stance: "Show me." It'd take a decade or two of non-partisan reportage by the NYT - or any other MSM outlet - to convince me they can be trusted to be non-partisan in their reportage. I won't be looking like a Smurf over that possibility.

One last thought for now, I'm thinking that we should start a petition to show our support for all the patriotic members of the entertainment industry in the hope that they will reconsider leaving the country. I'm open for suggestions but I'm struggling to think of any who have made the pledge and are patriotic so need a bit of help here.

I know your comment doesn't apply to her, but the Hollyweird Cetacean Lena Dunham has defiantly broken her promise to move to Canuckia.

It's now 11/14/2016 1:20 p.m. central time.....

You know, I'm taking off about noon on Wednesday, and will be incommunicado until sometime late Friday afternoon; unlike the Bostonian Drunkard who thinks it makes him look cool and important, I don't travel with all sorts of stuff attached to me, and don't plan on being near anything internetal.

It'd be nice if Skins had something--anything--going on before I take off, but I doubt he will.

UPDATE MONDAY 11/14/2016 3:00PM ET

Over the weekend we announced that DU would hopefully be back up on Monday or Tuesday. At this point we are very optimistic that the site will be back up on Tuesday afternoon. When DU comes back up, access will be granted to Star Members only on a temporary basis. For more information about this, please see the update below.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding -- see you all soon.

Must be hoping moles among the "Star Members" will inadvertently self-identify by re-posting (riposting?) new DU material in places like CC and CU.

Good point.  When that time comes it would be wise to sign out of your DU account before cross-navigating CC and DU.

Skins claims it will be back up tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon, but we'll see.

If not, it might be time to start discussing which forum we might want to feature should it be gone forever. JPR might be a natural since we know some of the players. But the nuts at DailyKos could provide hours of lunacy to laugh at. And chances are those kooks would come over here and try and defend their stupidity.

It's true the Kossacks are a higher level of intelligence than the DUmmies from either site, and would present a more interesting challenge.

1.) I'll believe it when, wellllll, you all see it. :rimshot:

2.) I'm sure good entertainment could be mined from Media Matters for America and ThinkProgress. They're already open pits, so one probably wouldn't need to dig deep at all.
