Non Published 1985 Interview = Bernie Sanders, the Socialist Mayor

In 1985, when Bernie Sanders was in his second term as mayor of Burlington, Vermont, a writer named Russell Banks published his breakthrough novel, Continental Drift. It would earn Banks the John Dos Passos Prize, and make him a finalist for the Pulitzer for fiction. Sometime after the book came out, Banks accepted an assignment to profile the self-described socialist mayor.

Well, I'm here too

I suspect my old friends are here too. I feel welcomed already.

It's raining at last here on the left coast and I am hearing the frog chorus outside; life is good, and I have a retirement mission of being a true Friend of the Earth and of progressive political policies.

The Bronze Rat

A Tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San Francisco. While looking around at the exotic merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized, bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but was so incredibly striking the tourist decided he must have it. He took it to the old shop owner and asked, "How much for the bronze rat?"

The Clinton Defense: REPUBLICANS DO IT SO I MUST

When does Republicanism become the standard of ethical political behavior? Whenever the Clintons run the party

-Using secret, private e-mails to avoid transparency much like Karl Rove, Scott Walker, and other corrupt enemies of democracy

-Massive corporate fundraising, from lobbyists and elites with a direct interest in the outcome of policy choices micro and macro

I went to the rally in Kissimmee, FL today!

It was great. Tulsi Gabbard spoke first, a very powerful speaker and everyone loved her(VP maybe?). Bernie was awesome and I think everyone was invigorated and hungry for his words. The thing I noticed the most was how diverse the people at the rally were. I came a away from today wondering how the idea that Bernie only attracts white and young people is viable? This was not the case and it was awesome to see. GO FLORIDA, FEEL THE BERN!!!!
