Something sad/touching/tragic and as far as I'm concerned

This is a direct result of HillBillary's get tough on crime policies and crack down on 'predators' and 'bringing them to heel'. This note was left by a child at the school at which Philando Castilo worked:

A letter to Bernie...should you write your own?

The proposed endorsement led me to write Senator Sanders. I know I can no longer support the Democratic Party, and I don't understand how a person with Bernie's values can. I wrote him the note below, and I encourage you to do the same. I used his senate contact form - http://www.sanders.senate.gov/contact or this address help@berniesanders.com

The Democratic Party Schism Is Well Represented In The Blogosphere

This will not be a revelation to anyone I imagine, but the clear choice presented by Bernie Sanders as opposed to the pre-determined candidacy of Hillary Clinton has effectively finally fractured the Democratic Party in general but very specifically in the blogs that were most representative of the "little people" rank and file Dems, both of the liberal bent and those of the DLC/pragmatic bent.

If The Media Was Actually Still The Fourth Estate

We would see someone do a news special special, maybe 60 minutes that would be a round table of 3-4 eminent non partisan legal scholars to discuss the Clinton emails and the FBI's reasoning to not refer charges. I think America would like to see a discussion curly on the legal facts and no political spin.

Of course you will never see this from the corporate media because that panel would likely conclude that she should be charged but further that there is a major cover up going on.

A digital Yahrtzeit

At 4:19 AM six years ago I got the call, my husband had died. Six years ago now. Past, not forgotten, two offspring who are doing well. I got to grow up in some ways I had been buffered from. Bittersweet. A bad week, our wedding anniversary is Bastille Day. My choice. This week is always painful to me, for six years. Our truncated family spent this day last year with one offspring and her spouse, whose father suicided when he was young but cognizant. Bittersweet. Two widows at their wedding.

Disability Caucus 7/9/16: Family Stuff and the Stress of Work/No Work

At this point in time I've basically decided that even though I'm still looking for work, worrying about whether or not I have a job just isn't worth the stress. That, and truth be told, I'm tired of being pissed off all the time. So I'll just be happy with my marriage instead because the wife doesn't seem to care whether or not I'm working.
