Facts About Markos Moulitsas:

Here, for the edification of the masses and the convenience of the media, are carefully researched facts about Daily Kos founder, Markos Moulitsas. I have created and will maintain this site solely in the interests of accuracy - for now that The New Republic is admitting to publishing erroneous stories about him, and the New York Times columnist David Brooks has labeled him the "Keyboard Kingpin", more and more lazy, unprincipled journalists will grunt out stories about Markos Moulitsas and the Daily Kos without bothering to do the most basic research.

This then, is for you, colleagues of the media. You will no longer need to make up facts about Daily Kos and its founder, for here I and my team of crack researchers have done so for you. Here, you will find facts to fill every need, even though many of them violate causality, basic physics, and common sense - but they were all researched to the standards demonstrated by Stephen Glass of The New Republic, so they should be perfectly acceptable for publication.

Just make sure you credit us, for my team and I have worked long minutes and made great sacrifices to bring these facts to light. Why, Markos has personally eaten my automobile. Twice.

We will be continually working to expose more facts - but until then, you'll have to make do with these:
