While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

Wikileaks: Tom Perez to John Podesta 2/5/16
Submitted by Amanda Matthews on Sat, 02/25/2017 - 7:21pmI was going to stick this in a thread started by Miss Didi but I was afraid it would get lost in there. THIS is proof that the fix was in all along. Perez has been and is a DNC flunky. The most relevant part of the email is item #6:

Just sent the following missive to my congressional "representative" (a declared democrat in a "purple" state; although I suspect she supports demorat "leadership" on most issues). BTW, I was/am pretty unhappy about the outcome, in case you can't tell --
No room for progressives in the Democratic Party -- Where to now?
Submitted by MsDidi on Sat, 02/25/2017 - 3:56pmFor any of you who believed that progressives could take control of the Democratic Party, today’s election of the Establishment’s candidate, Tom Perez, as party chair should dispel those illusions. Before his coronation, they also voted down a resolution that would have reinstated Obama’s ban on corporate PAC donations to the party. They defeated Resolution 33, which would have forbidden registered, federal corporate lobbyists from serving as DNC chair-appointed, at-large members. Wow!

It's come to my attention that there is an online petition to try to stop the Academy Awards from giving an Oscar to the Netflix film, "White Helmets", in tomorrow's ceremony. It's not too late to add your voice.
Why? Because it's war propaganda, a war propaganda flick.

Submitted by Steven D on Sat, 02/25/2017 - 2:48pmToday, as I type, my body is racked by a great deal of pain caused by the inflammation of connective tissue throughout my body - in my fingers, neck, shoulders, elbows, chest and hips. Unfortunately, the medicine I take is having little effect. Pain of this type is often accompanied by fever, chills and fatigue, and mental states such as depression.
