The Democratic National Convention starts on July 24, 2016. But it's not the only convention in Philly. And it with won't be the only organization voting on a platform. Because if you want a platform for real progressives (and not the once every four year ones) to run on, you should ask the people what they want and let them vote on it.
My 96 y/o mother is on the floor, again, in her house. No one is there. She has some necklace system which she forgot. I cannot remember the name of the company. I did not arrange that. Not the first time. More like the tenth.
By now just about everyone who lingers over these pages has read (and commented on) c99p's phenomenal success and growth. It's truly an amazing thing and a most hospitable locale to read and write. Well, with growth and maturity comes responsibility. Or so I've been told. Can't lay claim to the maturity part, but I've heard it enough times to take it as a truism.

A friend sent me this article from the New York Times yesterday, One of the World’s Greatest Art Collections Hides Behind This Fence: The superrich have stashed millions of works in tax-free storage. So what does that mean for the art? It inspired me to come out of hiatus and write something for a blog.
You know, I'm wondering if Hillary's campaign is in trouble and of course the establishment would know it... then why keep hammering Sanders to drop out? If they need a PLAN B?
Well maybe the Plan B is this: get Bernie to concede before the convention and when the FBI serves an indictment up to Clinton, they'll trot in Biden. Their logic: if sanders concedes, he's a loser, he's lost... but Biden is fresh snow.
Just a thought for the day.
Pinch-hitting-(hitting-hitting) for shaz (shaz shaz)....Tonight I consider myself....the luckiest blogger....on the face of the Earth. I'm whupping up an OT on the quick.
First, a little background before I get to venting about the state of the world.

I was looking at the Issues pages of both Bernie and Hillary today. Hillary has a Criminal Justice issues page. I didn't see one for Bernie, but I did see a Racial Justice page. So what do these two pages together have to offer as ideas for justice for all?
From Hillary's page, we should:
End Mass Incarceration
Reform Mandatory Minimum Sentencing
Help rehabilitate individuals leaving prison to better reintegrate into society
I just realized that this place has climbed every mountain, crossed every sea, til it found its rainbow ... Oops wrong soundofmusic track.
I just realized that some of the best voices, thinkers, writers, and stinkers are here, no longer at GOS.
Neat.
