I just woke up and found out DU has an RSS feed...

and this is yet another reason to stay glued to the computer 24 hours a day.

Thanks Elad, great job, and it works fine on AmphetaDesk:

I just don't know when or how I'll ever get any more sleep, work, eat, or anything else with more RSS channels on top of everything else.

5. Most of what you need to know is at:

http://disobey.com/amphetadesk/

This one works as a window in your browser, so it's almost redundant if you're already logged on to DU, but RSS is news junkie's heaven. There are thousands of channels out there for anything you're possibly interested in.

edit: had to replace square braket with curly, du getting confused it was code

in my newsreader (cool desktop rss grabber for konfabulator) the stories all start
{Democratic Underground Latest Breaking News}

which doesn't actually leave any room for the thread title.
right now:
{Democratic Underground Latest Breaking News} Ira...
{Democratic Underground Latest Breaking News} Bus...
{Democratic Underground Latest Breaking News} Sen...

pretty worthless
