Today is Martin Luther King Day, and like many of you I’ve been thinking about what Dr. King had to say about MORE than just having a Dream. The Emmys are on TV tonight, or so I’m told… it’s been a long time since I sat to watch any of the award shows. Social media keeps me up to date if I want to know, and tomorrow will have a nice list for me to peruse (like our very own Top Mojo, but of awards :-)). Oh, and it’s Iowa Caucus night. I know NO ONE has been talking about that (/s), but yes, it’s happening. happened. I am sure it’s a shock, but Trump won the Iowa caucus. By a lot. Which makes me scared for ever visiting Iowa, but I digress.
Between spending today getting 2023 financial information for my city Democratic Committee entered into the state database (I’m our Treasurer and I’ve procrastinated far too long, as my yearly report is due Friday) and making a quadruple batch of keto zucchini fritters because my son asked for them, I didn’t have a lot of time to do what I’d intended to do tonight. Which means my intended topic will be next week, and tonight we’ll hop to the comments and discuss the Iowa Caucus, the legacy of MLK, who won what at the Emmys, and whatever else catches your fancy. After perusing the Tops, of course. Priorities :).

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?
