Hello, everyone! This diary is not intended to replace the many excellent diaries on using Daily Kos -- such as ek hornbeck's excellent New Users diary series. Instead, I thought it might be good to show newer visitors to the blog, and specifically to the Cheers and Jeers feature, what it is and is not about.
Cheers and Jeers (also called C&J for short) is a weekday humor/community feature of Daily Kos, created and written on the front page (except for Mondays and some Tuesdays) by Bill in Portland Maine (BiPM). Aabshier (Andy) usually fills in on Mondays, in the diaries, C&J features relatively brief comments on news events as CHEERS and JEERS, and can include jokes and pictures. NOTE: This is a mainly humorous feature; if you want more serious debate, C&J may not be for you.

From the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts (soon to be Mitt-free!)...

Hello, and welcome to today's fill-in Cheers and Jeers, now being held in a law library. We have a variety of ways to look up legal questions and problems, ranging from print resources to databases and the Internet. But for historical research, you can't beat microfilm and microfiche.
One of you asked to see the briefs to the Supreme Court of Bush v. Gore, so we'll go over to the microfiche cabinet. But first, some housekeeping...
This here C&J is purely unofficial and a cheap substitute for the work of one Bill in Portland Maine. Your mileage may vary. I couldn't even get the key to the Official Gong. And a special above-the-fold CHEERS to Sherm and DD for filling in for Bill, as well as Baab for taking over substitute C&Js on Mondays again. Now let's go below the fold, shall we....
