My tweet, which has pretty much gone viral with at least 3 retweets! Try not to be too jealous of my fame, thanks:
When's the last time a politician said, with conviction, "World Peace! No More War!" #BirdieSanders https://t.co/5MSemO99M6
In a tiny Mexican village a boat just docked after being out at sea. An American tourist approached to compliment the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
"Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
Who does that?
Stands on the Floor of Senate and speaks for over 8 hours on the Xmas gifts-to-the-wealthy, tucked away in yet another last-minute Budget Bill? (ie. the extension of the GWB Tax Cuts to the Rich.)
Senator Bernie Sanders does. That’s who.
Exclusive - Bernie Sanders Extended Interview Pt. 1
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
April 27, 2011 — Bernie Sanders
In this unedited, extended interview, Bernie Sanders believes the Republican plan to cut social programs while extending tax cuts for the wealthy is insane. (6:39)
So, a 50,000+ stadium on two days' notice? Sure, Bernie will give it a try!
Here's a live feed of our favorite political rock star and candidate!

Note: I previously posted this on DKos. I am interested to see what the difference is between how it is received in both places
Bernie Sanders had an omen of significance as a humble sparrow landed in front of Bernie on his podium while addressing a Portland, Oregon audience on Good Friday, 25 March, the last of the 3 holy days before Easter this year 2016.
Sparrows may have some symbolism, I don't know for sure, perhaps it means a triumph after a period of suffering.
I am going back and forth between several blogs regarding the Bernster's rally at the ballpark in Seattle. TOP has got a major technical issue: font/character size. It has shrunk radically. Markos has got some major problems with that format. Old farts (like me) and short-sighted folks will skip it. I tried to report it over there, but no success. I am monitoring/following live coverage of the Bernster's rally tonight. Any updated info will be greatly appreciated.
Politico reports that Idaho's Democratic Super Delegate support is going to Sanders:
"..."Pent-up frustrations of a red state, exploded Idaho Caucuses to historic numbers last Tuesday night, with 78% for Bernie Sanders! I'm proud to be an Idaho Democrat representing the people's choice," Gertonson wrote. "I'll cast our Super Delegate vote for Bernie Sanders!..."
It really didn't take many of the so called 'liberal' blogs to fall in line with the corporate wing of the Democratic party.
They boldly avoid even touching the subject of Hillary's AUMF vote, all is forgiven since she said, oops my bad.
If she hadn't campaigned against people's rights it would have been so much worse, so that one is all good.
If she hadn't campaigned for the prison industrial complex..actually could it be much worse?
I'm registered as unaffiliated and got my notice today from the local registrar that I would not be able to vote in the presidential primary unless I returned the card asking for a Dem or GOP absentee ballot. Just a heads up to be sure you get yours back in when you receive it. Cross-posting at /r/Kossacks_for_Sanders.
