My real name is Dave and I'm one of the administrators and co-founders of DU. I live in the Washington DC area and work in the DU office with Skinner. We were the guys holding up the original Democratic Underground banner at the protests in DC the day that George W. Bush was inaugurated for the first time -- if you'd asked me then, I never would have guessed that DU would still be going strong 11 years later!

I used to write the Top 10 Conservative Idiots but found that after the birth of my son three years ago I no longer had the time to write such an in-depth weekly article. (Maybe it will come back for the 2012 election -- you never know.) My main role these days is general site administration and front-end HTML coding, and I create DU's daily Pic Of The Moment (with able assistance from Skinner). Now we've settled into the new DU3 software I've even found time to post the occasional Hate Mailbag, which is good news.

In my spare time -- what little there is of it -- I enjoy action movies and video games.

On edit: since Skinner has busted out the family pics I thought I'd post one of my son too. He is currently interested in becoming an astronaut...
