WTF Wednesday: Michigan Primary, Bump n Dump, Bernie Cookies


Good morning, Wednesday! Good morning, WTF!

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.

Ellohay, Wednesday! Ellohay, WTF!

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."

Last but not least, you may not know by watching TV, but thousands of people in as many as 70 cities marched this weekend to support Bernie Sanders and his plans for Campaign Finance Reform, Medicare For All, $15 Minimum Wage, End FrackingStop Endless War in the Middle East, Take Marijuana Off the Federal List of Outlawed Drugs, Racial Justice, and Free Public College Tuition, among dozens of other progressive issues his campaign champions.

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.

Heartstrings Tax Break


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.

WTF Wednesday: Fiddling Angel, Coach K


Hola Wednesday! Hola WTF!

Behold a fiddling skipping angel next to jumbo roses:

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.

Following this loss, Coach K for whatever reason didn't shake hands with the Syracuse bench. Excellent sportsmanship. 

This is my reaction to Coach K.

Last but not least, I am taking this WTFW to announce my endorsement of Bernie Sanders for President 2016.  I realize I am trying to sell t-shirts here and my political views may offend others who will in turn not want to buy my t-shirts, but really, fuck this shit - I believe all Americans should have health care, sue me.   

feelthebern


I think Bernie is honest, and I strongly agree with basically every single word that comes out of his mouth. The notion that he might take Elizabeth Warren as a running mate has me positively giddy. I imagine 4 years of Sanders/Warren, and then another 8 with her at the helm and I think we could reverse climate change in 12 years. We could have light rail, solar highways, and wind farms in 12 years. We could reduce the wage gap and get real about stopping racism. We could usher in a new era of Pax Americana. Imagine - peace. Imagine? 

I found this t-shirt at goodwill on New Years Eve - my dream ticket is right!
