If Bernie Sanders doesn't clinch it today, I will continue donating through the convention, but will shift most of my money downballot progressives & to the Green Party & Jill Stein. Inside/Outside strategies are not about putting all our eggs in one basket. I really do hope Bernie considers breaking as a new party. He has the name recognition & willing donors to do it.

This is a brief reflection on our 3-year old Golden Retriever named Lady; hoping that you would contribute your stories and we would discuss how pets and working animals make us more of everything: more human, more resilient, more happy, more safe, more compassionate, more healthy, and so forth. More below.

Once upon a time, hidden high in the snow covered mountains, was a happy peaceful village. Tridville it was called because it's inhabitants were Trids! Now what's a Trid you may ask, and I suppose it needs explaining, for few have known of the Trids. Trids are smaller in stature than a man and they have big hairy feet. In fact Trids are completely covered in fur, (unlike a hobbit) mostly white with markings. Friendly, cute, round, peaceful little Adbominal Snowmen they are indeed.

          A death by a thousand cuts splashed with salt water would be more pleasant than reading one more "acceptable" article at Daily Kos.

I suppose I should have seen the writing on the wall when Kos himself declared a virtual open season on anyone who refused to get behind Hillary Clinton after March 15th. As for me, there's a whole laundry list of reasons not to get behind her at all, but personally, her being open to cutting things like Social Security and Medicare are a deal breaker, faux progressive veneer aside.
