This probably shouldn’t be a diary, but I’m not sure how else to do this.
I’ve been out of the country for a few weeks and haven’t posted much in a while. I just wanted to say how exciting it has been to see the great work that the activist community and the grassroots have been doing fighting the government takeover of Health Care. I’m honestly stunned at how effective it has been, I didn’t think we had much of a chance on this, and I realize it is far from over, but we at least have a chance of avoiding anything we won’t be able to fix later. What is even better, having had a chance to watch at a bit of a distance, is that this is NOT being driven from the top. “Astroturfing” my a**! This has been our Senators and congresscritters and even a few of the Blue Dogs being pushed by YOU.
Once again, thank you all.

Erick Erickson (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 2:21PM EST (link)But the recommend button and safari don’t go well together.
Who will stand on either hand and keep this bridge with me?Follow @EWErickson
Takes two or three tries with Firefox, too.

A lot of that has to do with lots of people trying to recommend the diary

Joe Biden is like a Decrepit Park owner with a Meth lab that happens to not only be a dealer but a user.

I'm persistant about it now.

Yup.
Steph C (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 8:13PM EST (link)I’m sure the kinks will be worked out over time. They always get them worked out. Persistence and patience are the words of the day.

aesthete (Diary) Wednesday, August 26th at 9:34PM EST (link)just open a comment in a new tab, scroll up to the top of the page, and click recommend. IDK why it is that you need to do that, but it works like a charm for me.

I think I recommended this.
Flagstaff (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 6:04PM EST (link)It still has the “unrecommend” button up. But my name hasn’t appeared.
“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964
I don't see your name either, Flagstaff.
TNJim (Diary) Wednesday, August 26th at 12:08AM EST (link)Try again.

DONTREADONME (Diary) Wednesday, August 26th at 12:28AM EST (link)for fear of that irritating server busy or this other error that comes up and basically will not allow me to reconnect without closing and reopening the browser and logging on again. Arrgghhh curse you Bill Gates, jerk.
kowalski, while I am at it I don't see the comment bar...
DONTREADONME (Diary) Wednesday, August 26th at 12:29AM EST (link)anymore, and what happened to the members diary list and Redhot and reco diary list. but I sure do get the pop-ups trying to get through OK
Your reco took, DTOM.
TNJim (Diary) Wednesday, August 26th at 12:39AM EST (link)From what I’ve seen folks using IE seem to be having most of the problems. Try Firefox, although that may not be an option if you’re at work.
Neil and the folks at Eagle may have to try to find tweaks to make the site more compatible with IE. Such are growing pains.
just saw comment, but I have four orphaned tabs...
DONTREADONME (Diary) Wednesday, August 26th at 12:46AM EST (link)now, that is locked up, one said “Operation Aborted”…
Sorry AKSteve, yeah the fight against health care is impressive, it is a shame that the American people have to feel like cornered racoons before we do something. BTW, one thing that has happened at RS is the upgrade that has been done, unfortunately IE8 has a few hiccups.
