Top Comments: Open Thread edition

I ain’t got nuttin’ for you folks tonight ….

But first: Top Comments appears nightly, as a round-up of the best comments on Daily Kos. Surely ... you come across comments daily that are perceptive, apropos and .. well, perhaps even humorous. But they are more meaningful if they're well-known ... which is where you come in (especially in diaries/stories receiving little attention).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send your nominations to TopComments at gmail dot com by 9:30 PM Eastern Time nightly, or by our KosMail message board. Please indicate (a) why you liked the comment, and (b) your Dkos user name (to properly credit you) as well as a link to the comment itself.

…. promise that I will have a more substantive post in the not-too-distant future. For now …. it’s Blue Check Day (or not):

Let’s close with my favorite song from Rory Gallagher. 

Now, on to Top Comments:

From elenacarlena:

In the diary by Rob in Vermont about the use in DK of Associated Press stories — this comment made by JennaT.

And from Ed Tracey, your faithful correspondent this evening ........

In the diary by News Corpse about the firing today of Fox on-air personality Dan Bongino— missourilefty cautions that his radio show is broadcast locally in his area (and a further search shows stations across the country). 

Next - enjoy jotter's wonderful (and now eternal) *PictureQuilt™* below. Just click on the picture and it will magically take you to the comment featuring that photo.

TOP PHOTOS April 19th, 2023 (NOTE: Any missing images were removed because (a) they were from an unapproved source that somehow snuck through in the comments, or (b) it was an image from the DailyKos Image Library which didn't have permissions set to allow others to use it.)
