As I posted on facebook, Super (Crappy) Tuesday yesterday was disappointing, though not unexpected:
after brushing away some fragile white woman tears this morning, i've strongly renewed my resolve to fight as hard as i can for the Bernie Sanders campaign, because it is not the bernie sanders campaign, it is the anti-corruption campaign.
replace 'bernie' with 'anti-corruption' in all the news you see and you will realize that this fight will not be over in june, or november, and it sure as hell will not be over in march.
they thought they buried us, they didn't know we were seeds.
The New York Times map shows Bernie won Western North Carolina by a large margin. The New York Times also engaged in corruption yesterday. They published their first positive article about Bernie Sanders. (“Bernie Sanders Scored Victories for Years Via Legislative Side Doors.”)
The Bernie campaign shared this complimentary article via official Facebook and Twitter.
The New York Times then CHANGED the title of the article (“Via Legislative Side Doors, Bernie Sanders Won Modest Victories.”), and CHANGED the content of the article to be much less favorable towards Bernie.
This is corruption. This is the New York Times. This is not okay. I will continue to speak out against this corruption until my heart stops or my fingers fall off. WTF NY Times?
We are up against a lying ("1 Week, 6 Hillary Clinton Lies"), cheating, stealing, corrupt political machine, but grassroots run deep and I will keep watering them.
It's gonna be short and sweet this week, let's begin by giving a big WTF to the pundits and pollsters who were wrong, wrong, wrong in their predictions for the Michigan democratic primary - Bernie Sanders WON last night - in what is being called "one of the greatest upsets in modern political history." Feel the Bern!
Good morning, Nebraska Caucus cookies.
Good morning, ceramic horse head.
Good morning, new video from Guadalajara Joe! Do the Bump n Dump! Featuring orange checkerboard hammer pants from Skippy Haha Vintage.
Also features a baby sea lion* skim boarding footage and a terrier on a leash!
* Update: The baby sea lion footage has been removed because evidently it is illegal to be that close to a sea lion, even though the sea lion was not touched or harmed and seemed to enjoy bumping and dumping. As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

Ellohay, Wesley, the golden retriever with braces!
"Michigan Golden Retriever Gets Braces" (the pup's dad is a "doggie dentist" - how conveeeeeenient). Incidentally, Nacho still has 2 of the top 4 google image results for "labrador overbite" and also "labrador overbite"- luckily Nacho didn't have any problems eating like Wesley had. (Thank you Ted for pointing out this story.)
Moving on to a Hallmark book from 1980 called "Since You Came Along."
It's full of frosted photos and fruity love poems.
The revolution is alive and well, and may not be televised, but will be posted.
Great video of drumming for Bernie in Asheville. So when the corporate media and biased pundits
tell you that Bernie Sanders has no shot at the nomination, give them
the Sugarhoney eye roll.

There's a hidden cost savings that would result from universal
health care - i haven't seen this addressed anywhere yet - but I spent a
bunch of money last year trying to defray the medical costs of people I
have never met.
I sent $375 through gofundme to 8 different
friends of friends, or friends of friend's friends who, in desperate
bids to avoid being completely wiped out by an accident or illness,
reached out to the Internet. I read the stories of a woman who lost
everything she owned and half her skin in a fire, and had to donate. The
37 year old father with pancreatic cancer. The 5 year old boy with a
brain tumor. I wasn't required to pay for their healthcare, but once I
read their stories and saw their pictures, once they moved me to tears,
felt compelled to donate. Kind of a heartstrings tax. Golden rule tax.
I could have donated more to each of them and it still wouldn't have
been enough. I could have donated to more of the gofundmes that came
across my screen and it still wouldn't have been enough.
Would I
gladly pay about that same $375/year in taxes every year to ensure
NOBODY in this country goes through that ordeal of begging the internet
for help when they get sick ever again - to ensure EVERYBODY gets health
care? Yes! I believe strongly this is something we should fight for and
not give up until it happens.
Bernie Sanders
is fighting hard for this, whether you support him or not, think about
supporting universal single payer health care, and pressuring your
representatives to do the same.
Behold a fiddling skipping angel next to jumbo roses:
Is she saying stop? Kneeling? Missing another half to play pattycake? I hope?
The running coke.
Last but not least, Coach K of Duke had a couple of atrocious tantrums Monday night after losing his 3rd game in a row. About the play below he stated" "It was an amazing ending. Amazing. Go see it, it's literally amazing. It's amazing basketball, let's put it that way. We put ourselves in a position to win. Matt [Jones, #13] made a great play and he
wasn't rewarded. He made a great play, and it's amazing. It's literally
amazing. God bless America."
Pay close attention to Matt Jones #13 from Duke:
The great play he wasn't rewarded for - was a flop. He flings his hands over his head to fake a foul. Instead of going for the ball he flings his hands backwards. He wasn't rewarded. God bless America.
