Song of the Day 2/12: The Guess Who, “Share the Land”
Not even Bernie Sanders goes so far as to call for redistribution of land -- it took a bunch of Canadian hayseeds from the plains of Manitoba to do that.…

Song of the Day 2/11: Alive and Kicking, “Tighter, Tighter”
I have no idea why this song popped into my head the other day, because I don't think I've heard it in years. Obscure even for a one-hit wonder, Alive…

The Badger and the Coyote
Yes, it sounds like one of Aesop's fables, and it does crop up in Native American folklore, but it's based on observed reality. Though coyotes and badgers are each solitary…

Don’t Worry – Sanders Iowa Numbers Are a Media Trap
The bad news is that Sanders will do "WORSE THAT EXPECTED". The media will push that narrative - hard.
The good news is that unlike Howard Dean, Sanders hasn't made Iowa an "all in" contest for the nomination. It broke my heart when Dean underwent his media lynching after Iowa. Dean had in unequivocal anti-Iraq war stance that would have dismantled GWB.
Sanders is not putting his head in the noose. He is staying in and when it is Sander's vs Biden in the home stretch... cover your eyes, Delaware.

The other side of the aisle are all corrupt assholes and they have been blowing up The Norms for years. It is well past time for the Coons to go on Morning Joe tell THE AMERICAN PEOPLE just what fucking creeps his Republican buddies are.
