Hey everybody!
Nice list of people online right now. Glad to be hanging out with you all. I am looking forward to something good coming from this group of people.
This is a rough cut from a project I am currently working on.
(I wrote this a few years ago - 2012 - and even though it's been published before, I think it's more pertinent this primary season than it ever has been. apologies for publishing again.)
(My apologies to Thomas Jefferson)
I have over 900 diaries on Daily Kos, many highly recommended. I came here to stay in touch with comrades who left there recently. As a charter member of DSA I am a strong supporter of Bernie Sanders. Coincidentally we were both at the University of Chicago in the early 1960s and involved in the same causes.

This is the scene in Instanbul last night.

From the Journal of February 10, 1916:
I just washed up on this beach. Let's build a fire, gather round it, and plot against the establishment.
BTW
If you haven't been to Dkos today it was just posted that Tricia Wyse , the Pootie Queen, died of a heart attack this AM.
i'm late! i'm late!
for a very important date!
Today and tomorrow, the Democrats, they will be making the president, and in four states: Nebraska, Louisiana, Maine, and Kansas.
So, this is just my personal philosophical take on it, but IMHO the basic Newtonian laws of physics apply to political action.
