Good Evening! Here at Top Comments we strive to recognize and promote the talent of this community by highlighting outstanding comments found throughout the day by the diarist, and more importantly through nominations sent to TopComments at gmail dot com by your fellow Kossacks. When you send in your picks, please include your username so we can credit you, and send 'em in by 9:45pm Eastern to ensure they make the final diary.
These nominations are subjective, and certainly not complete (as no one can read the complete site on a daily basis!). But we hope they will serve to shine a light where deserved, and to give the reader a good starting point in finding conversation on the site.
Please come in and make yourself at home...
FYI- continued good thoughts go out to sardonyx, who was scheduled to pen tonite's TC. Hope you're out of the hospital and back on your feet keyboard ASAP!
Where were you 39 years ago this weekend?

So many pretty NN photo diaries, so little time. I had planned on doing one of those tonite, complete with images of my time in Austin, gratuitous pics of as many of you as I have pictures of (thank you to all who posed with me!), and a total recap of my experiences there. Then life intervened...

We have so many insightful and powerful diaries written here at Daily Kos. Our diaries inform, inflame, impassion, and even entertain. We Kossacks have strong voices and an even stronger will to be the change we wish to see in this country.
One of the richest, and perhaps most under-appreciated, areas of thought come in the form of comments attached to these diaries.

She said she had to read it "soon" because the school librarian volunteer parent had to take it back to the town library. Whaaa? Turns out my daughter has waited patiently for her turn with this book, but the school library closes this Friday. So the volunteer went to the town library, checked it out, and will take it back after. I appreciate the effort, but here's my issue..
