For all the bashing of the mainstream media at the YearlyKos convention, the bloggers in attendance clearly wanted to be taken seriously by the reporters covering the convention. Their blogs frequently quoted from mainstream newspaper articles, and they tried to have their photographs taken with the likes of New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.

But some started to worry about the image they were projecting outside the blogosphere on Saturday when some bloggers started an unusual contest - making the most original tinfoil hat. As dozens of bloggers donned their creations with delight, television crews and newspaper photographers descended on them. “Oh, no. This is going to be the B-roll on TV tonight,” said one dismayed blogger.

#11  I b'lieve his name is Markos [something long and Greek for a last name], although I could be mistaken. I don't visit his site -- the decontamination procedure is too much for my delicate nature. ;-)

#9  It has been a very long while, but I believe 'Kos', in Arabic, refers to a part of the female anatomy.

#7  Has anyone explained what "Kos" means? Is that just the random name the guy came up with when he started his blog.

#3  Why would Kos ever bash the mainstream media??
They are essentially allies in the debasement of American values and geopolitical/military strength.
