Remember that pledge I made? Well, I sent in my extra $100 just now to Bernie's campaign.

Give yourselves a round of applause.

You made me do it.

Hi folks, from a glorious Victoria Day long weekend in SE Ontario. This is our traditional National Gardening weekend. Our family is all out in the garden this weekend. The old man just came in for a snack and to rest my back. My word, people are out in force with gas-powered polluting tools. You can't hear yourself think!
We quit using gas-powered outside tools (mostly, except for a big chipper - the little one is electric, and a big chainsaw - the little one runs on an 18-volt bttery) run our powered garden tools on batteries (hopefully learn enough solar to create a DC battery-powering station).
Anyway, I had wanted to write up something from Wendell Berry on replacing older technology with a new one. Sadly, there's no time today, but I can at least post his list of requirements. More below.

I know that many here have totally sworn off ever going to dailykos again

Like those who have decided not to vote for Hillary at all now that it is clear that the democratic party works for the oligarchs

And why reward Kos with more page views?

There are brave folks like gjohnsit who posted the diary there about how independents think Hillary is a piece of shit. I just posted 3 comments on that diary which was on the REC list for quite a while

And that, in a nutshell, describes the problem with the modern Democratic Party.

Brand New Congress / Bernie National Committee - Organizing Kickoff Gatherings!!!

Hey everyone! We’re continuing the revolution with a campaign to elect a Brand New Congress! Come meet national and local BNC organizers and supporters and let’s get this thing started in your city! This event is an opportunity to learn more about BNC, join a volunteer team, suggest members of your community who would make great representatives and meet some amazing new people.

One of my favorite blogs:

Bernie Should Continue Fighting For What He Believes In And Not Buckle To The Pressure From The Forces Of Hell: http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2016/05/bernie-should-continue-fight...

Warning! Hillary Image Ahead:

I watched video that someone posted at Kosaks for Sander the other day. It was from a guy with Judicial Watch. I was going to do a post about it there, but couldn't recall his name. While I was at youtube, I happened on this video.

There's a diary over at TOP (Yeah...don't ask me why I'm even writing about them. Old habits, I suppose.) that accuses those of us who feel the Democratic Party has left us of being quitters. To those folks who believe that I say, 'It takes one to know one.' Why? Well, let's face it: The Democratic Party has been full of quitters since Bill Clinton first took office. Essentially, quitting is all they've ever really done for the last 25 years.
