I'm upset right now, and I'd like to express it. You're welcome to reject my expression of emotion, but I ask that you give it the benefit of the doubt and at least read it.

Even if you don't know me.

Another Op/Ed that I wrote for the JHU Newsletter. As always, I'd appreciate constructive criticism on the grammar, factual accuracy, sentence/paragraph structure, and overall writing style.

Last Op/Ed I posted on here was torn to shreds just because people disagreed with my opinion. I'm asking for criticism on the writing - please - I'm an engineering student who rarely writes and I just want to improve the quality of my work. If you disagree with my opinion, I ask that you express it in a pleasant manner.

Thanks.

Another piece I wrote for the Johns Hopkins newsletter. As always, I'm asking for any constructive feedback that you're willing to offer. That includes grammar, facts, etc. I usually get a few good responses that help improve my writing, so keep up your record DKos!

Disclaimer, since apparently people aren't reading before they comment. The only issue on which I expected immediate change was gay marriage. As far as the economy and health care are concerned, I said that I acknowledge that they aren't easy problems to tackle quickly.

Read: "I recognize that fixing our economy and passing a massive piece of health legislation aren’t easy tasks. Although I’m disappointed with the left’s ability to put its foot down on these issues, I acknowledge that a certain amount of patience is necessary for such massive overhauls to take place."

Also, constructive criticism doesn't mean stupid criticism. I'm not a writer, I'm an engineering student. I post here because I want to improve my writing, not get torn apart for it.

This is an article I wrote for the JHU newsletter for this week. Like with all of my articles, much of the info is from DKos and NYTimes, so none of this information should be news to anyone here. I'm just asking for feedback. Grammar, misquotes, jokes that fell horribly flat - constructive criticism is both welcome and desired (and if something outright sucks, please say so). My main concerns are:

Should I change the names of the CDs being bundled with 'Michelle Bachmann's Great Hits'?

Is there any paragraph that you think is unnecessary/any two that could be condensed to one? It should be 800-850 words, and I have almost 1,000.

Is the overall point of the essay (the Repubs are being spoken for by loons and need to find a new voice) well articulated, or is it lost in the nonsense?

If there's anything that isn't clearly explained, any points made without sufficient evidence to support them - please tell me!!

Thanks for all your helps guys - so far I've gotten great feedback on my previous articles, I always appreciate it!

I realize that this may not count as a legitimate diary, but I've been following this Twitter/Facebook page for some weeks now, and I'd be doing the DKos community a great disservice if I didn't share it with them.

I watched the Media Matters video about companies that are funding the Glenn Beck show and decided to do my part and write State Farm, Red Lobster, and Wal-mart an email to express my concern with their advertising decision. I had already written to Progressive Insurance, Lawyers.com, and Proctor and Gamble to commend their decision to pull their ads from his show, and my emails were greeted with personal responses. That was motivation enough to write these.

Update: Title changed to reflect the wishes of the comments

What do these three things have in common? They don't deserve more than 10 seconds on the news. And yet they get whole weeks.

I'm thinking of submitting this to the JHU Newsletter. It's not due til Tuesday, so your feedback is appreciated so that I can improve.

I realize that it's no different than most of the stuff already posted on DKos, but not everyone at my school visits this site, and I admit I used DKos as a source for much of the info.

Many thanks!!!

I wrote this a few weeks ago (when it was relevant) but I guess now is as good as any time to post it. This is NOT a personal attack on Bristol - this is meant to show the lunacy of her being toted as a moral example by conservatives while she turns against everything they consider to be 'morally absolute'. I respect her for her decisions and for what she said on Fox news. I'm criticizing the right's usage of this poor girl for political gain. I apologize if that isn't apparent in the article.
