It don't fuckin' pay enough...

Ever' day n2doc posts several collections of political cartoons. Have you ever wondered how long it takes to assemble those-I haven't but I will now.
Lolcats-every week like clockwork a photo essay on animals and humor and breaking memes-priceless.
TexasTowlie and his laser focus on a news digest for the happenings in a single random state-I know almost every time he picks my state I'm liable to see a local story I missed.
Both the Ferret and the Rude Pundit work like enraged savants skewering current events with language as vicious and agile as current events demand.
How about kpete who seems to live scanning the net for breaking news.
Certainly EarlG could sit back on his laurels as an admin for the site but instead....well,when was the last day without one of his graphics.
The thing is all these people have self nominated themselves as working drones on this site for the (at best) dubious honor of being voted to the Greatest page. Got that-untold hours every week just to give to others on the board. And I mean not just these guys but many others both in the past and present who created and continue to create to give to each of us.
A few minutes ago I read a column by one of the folks named-it doesn't matter who-and then moved on back to the Latest page. Something nibbled at me and a few minutes later I went back to that post and found that 74 people had read it and only one had recommended the page. And I realized something sad-these guys are so fucking good they don't get the recs they deserve because I, and i think a bunch of other people, hold them to a higher standard. I have become so parsimonious with my praise that I fail to notice the quality of nearly EVERY post! And I'm sure I'll fall back into this pattern-it is human to do so. But for me and just for a while I'm gonna try harder and recommend these guys every time they deserve it and you should too. We owe them a shitload...
And Malaise!
And Skittles to avoid an ass-kicking...

that seems to interest me, or I am aware someone spent a whole lot of time .I rec it. It is so obvious that people spend enormous amounts of time posting here.
I know what it takes to find these article because I look for some myself. We have a great site, with wonderful people who put in lots of time and effort. In some ways, it is better than any single news site, because it encompasses all news sites as well as many opinion sites. Before the internet, to get the same info, we had to go to the library and spend hours looking at this magazine or that newspaper. But with the internet, people are able to search many places. But sometimes, those people who search, spend as much time doing so as we did before at the library. So, special thanks to those you named, and others who spend time searching, editing, and posting.
..My hat is off to all who do that hard work for all of us..THANK YOU..

We all need to take time to appreciate the good actions of others.
Thank you to the DUers who take the time and effort to make this the best and most informative - and entertaining - site on the web every single day! Kudos!

cause all the above mentioned people add immensely to my day. They put into words the thoughts in my head.
Thank all of you!
I'm from Georgia too, and I don't appreciate enough the work he does.
but I do rec them and comment when I can think of something worth saying. Many look at the posts without logging in but they get counted as "views" and then there are the nonmembers who read without having an account.
