We have so many insightful and powerful diaries written here at Daily Kos. Our diaries inform, inflame, impassion, and even entertain. We Kossacks have strong voices and an even stronger will to be the change we wish to see in this country.
One of the richest, and perhaps most under-appreciated, areas of thought come in the form of comments attached to these diaries.
Here at Top Comments we strive to recognize and promote the talent of this community by highlighting outstanding comments found throughout the day by the diarist, and through nominations at made at topcomments at gmail dot com by your fellow Kossacks.
These nominations are subjective, and certainly not complete (as no one can read the complete site on a daily basis!). But hopefully they will serve to shine a light where deserved, and to give the reader a good starting point in finding conversation on the site.
Please come in and make yourself at home! Join us beneath the fold...

If you're new (either to the site or to TC), post a comment and say hi! This is a good, welcoming place to get your feet wet.
If you've found comments you'd like to share, please do so!
And tell us of your actions, efforts, or share recipes, flirt, talk... whatever suits your fancy. We are a community, and strive to build that, here.
As always, the top comments of the day are highly subjective, controversial, should only be used under strict medical supervision.
Enjoy.

I'd like to submit the following comment from Donna in Rome
From LithiumCola
WIds has a brilliant synopsis of Reagan's (and Democrats', too) lousy foreign policy during the cold war. WIds uses this as a response to Republican ballyhooing of Reagan in Big Nit Attack's Carter: Bush's impact worst in history.
