I have found both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders behaving extremely elegantly
towards each other. I have yet to hear either one of them attack the other. I LOVE that!!! That's how it should be. I think they both understand that we all have to unite behind one candidate in order to keep the White House. Bernie Sanders has already announced that he won't be a spoiler if he doesn't go all the way, and that he's going to work to make sure Dems keep the White House. And I LOVE him for that. And we have already seen clear evidence that Hillary has been willing and able to do that same thing. She fought hard but then got fully behind Barack Obama after he beat her to the nomination. And that was pretty damn classy, too.
I have already repeatedly vowed in writing here that if Bernie beats her to the nomination, I will be behind him all the way. And I WILL vote for him if that's the case.
I just happen to believe that she is realistically the best candidate and that she has the best realistic shot at it. Besides, I ARDENTLY want to see a woman in that big chair. Time to break that last glass ceiling. And I feel it's quite urgent ESPECIALLY at a time like this - when many important women's issues are on the ropes and we are losing ground and falling behind in the progress towards women's rights. FORTY FOUR Presidents we've had in our history, and they've ALL been men. We need a different mindset in charge, for a change.
Always did like the good doctor!
My heart STILL belongs to Hollerin' Howard! He's always made sense. I wanted him to win in 2004. When Kerry folded and didn't contest the election and bush/cheney stole another one, I went outside to my car and took the Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker out of the inside back window, and put my Dean for America sticker (which I'd kept) back in. And as I did so, I found myself thinking "I was right the FIRST time."
Man, I still remember that day. That was a VERY gloomy day. Even with the sun shining.
I'm okay with this. Clean house. Start fresh. I'm sure there are lots of locals who could use
jobs like these.
I think these folks did the correct thing. If their conscience or their "sincerely-held belief", whatever the fuck that may be, prevents them from doing their jobs, then they're clearly in the WRONG JOBS. Resigning is exactly the action they should be taking in a case like this.
Agreed. There is NOTHING more important than addressing climate change.
NOTHING.
Unless the koch brothers and friends know of another planet we can all escape to, when we have befouled this one?

Bree the BEST.
Sometimes it matters what they DO with the money.
Do they turn around and help people with it? Help people in various kinds of great need? Well, I'd daresay that money would not otherwise have gone toward helping people in need. But then I'm as Machiavellian as the next guy.
I LOVE the Rude Pundit!
Yet again! "Stop being such a cockknob..." OMG! That alone!
MAN the gems that spring from The Rude Keyboard! The other one I like, and have taken out for a walk multiple times by now, is "well fuck us all with a surprise stick."
