Top Comments: Skeets Alive edition

A look at some recent Blue-Sky “skeets”, after-the-jump ...

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 our KosMail message board nby 9:30 PM Eastern. 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.

Not to mention: Liberia being founded in part by freed U.S. slaves ….

Now, on to Top Comments (and some Top Photos):
