(1,302 posts)111. My DU story
Yes, I've been here since sometime in the fall of '01. I come and go but always check in. During the '02 elections when things didn't turn out too well the board was so jammed they had to close it to all but contributers. After that I've had a star from time to time thanks to Du'ers generosity but I'm on a fixed income and just haven't been able to send donations. Anyway, I got here through Mike Malloy from his website. And I remember the glorious days of Media Whores Online. I have a theory about where they went. I think they went on to create Media Matters. Any thoughts? Peace Baby, Pearl
