		<description>ps - I know feeding the trolls isn&#039;t standard operating procedure, but we want to out them and out the practice.  The community manager seems unenthusiastic about her work.</description>

		<description>Happy happy Mudflats joy joy - you and the Mudpuppies are heroes! You have created one of the most impressive and organic online communities out there. Bravo!
Have any blog surfers noticed the troll infestation wherever politics are enjoyed by the leftish or lefties? We know - but can&#039;t yet prove - that it is a paid effort by Repubco. They use the tactics you are familiar with at those 2 GINO sites we won&#039;t name, and the poison the air.
Community members at wowOwow are being buried in such trash. This is a site for women that started with a great deal of promise. Posters could go deeply into topics and really learn from each other. Now it is mostly a wasteland.
If you have time,  drop into one of the news stories on wow - you will see what I&#039;m talking about. You can click on a poster&#039;s avatar to see their comment history.  If you like feeding the trolls to relieve your tension and sharpen your skills, join wow and help the liberals bash back.
The moderator seems to be a bit selective in who she moderates. 
Need I add these paid shills love GINO?
The exhausted libs at wow would appreciate any support. 
Rock on Mudpuppies! You are changing the world, one thread at a time (h/t Shannyn).</description>

		<description>Congratulations on your first birthday and thank you most sincerely for being here.  I too stumbled upon this little piece of heaven last year after SP received her VP nomination and have been lurking and learning ever since. I hope readers will not resent visitors from other corners of the world joining in, because the impact of someone like SP being elected (God forbid) has ramifications for everyone, as it did with Bush. 

When the patients are running the asylum then we are all in trouble.  

Thank you for your fabulous writing, your political insight and for taking me into your Alaskan home.</description>

		<description>Happy Birthday!

Since August I have enjoyed you and some other Alaskan bloggers (Immoral, Celtic, Shannyn and Progressive) and plan to travel to Alaska shortly with my family.

You and Andrew Sullivan are my favorite bloggers.
