Hats off America to Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont who is trying his damndest to save the country and stop the rotten deal the Republicans and Obama are trying to foist upon the nation!

I urge one and all to call his office in Washington or in Vermont and literally voice your support for his effort to save the New Deal from it's longtime enemies and from the corporate/centrist Democrats. 

The number in DC is: 202-224-5141

Sometimes I wonder how gullible most Democrats really are and since we elected President Obama I've wondered that a whole helluva lot more than usual.  Time after time in recent years the Democrats manage, no matter what, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, to come back with half a loaf of rotten bread when they had set out with plenty of money to get a whole loaf and each time they do most of the media, average citizens, typical active Democrats, and even bloggers are left scratching their heads as to how it could be that when the task seemed so clear

I think I first saw George Carlin when I was about 10 on the Ed Sullivan show.  It was before he grew the long hair and showed the audience who he was and what he believed in.  I can't think of many people in our celebrity culture who had the staying power he had.  Nor can I think of many who had such a loyal and grateful following.
