A little back story...I joined DK back in 2004...mostly lurk, make an occasional comment and even less occasional diary...fast forward to 2016, I liked Bernie early on...and still do...but I found myself being pulled in the Hillary direction, for many of the reasons written about and explored exhaustively on DK until one day the thought just popped in my head...Hillary?...works for me. (said in that sort of off handed way one might say, how about pizza tonight? Pizza?..works for me.)

So I made the bumper sticker pictured above...and I liked it...so I thought, “How ‘bout a commercial?”

Here’s the idea:

Shot of blue collar worker saying “Hillary?...works for me!

Shot of a nurse saying: “Hillary?...works for me!

Shot of school teacher saying: “Hillary?...works for me!

Shot of engineer/tech worker saying: “Hillary?..works for me?

Cut to Hillary speaking to an enthusiastic audience saying something inspirational to the effect “I want to work to make life better for all Americans!”

Final shot: Teenage girl saying earnest and seriously: “Hillary...works for me”

I've often commented that one of the most under used resources of the progressive movement is our absolute advantage in the amount of creative people that sympathize with progressive values.
We have a wealth of artists, musicians, actors,comedians and writers...to name just a few of the areas of dominance we enjoy over our conservative counterparts.
Time to use that advantage...not just in a booed off the stage academy award moment...I mean to use this advantage in a brass knuckle, knock down, drag out kind of way...follow me below for the details...

So... the home phone rings this morning, my wife, not recognizing the number is ready to let it go to VM...I say, I'll take it...lo and behold it's the NRA..."do you have time for a one question poll?" asks Eileen, a self identified NRA member.

A special welcome to anyone who is new to The Grieving Room. We meet every Monday evening. Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, whether you have lost a person or a pet, or even if the person you are "mourning" is still alive ("pre-grief" can be a very lonely and confusing time) you can come to this diary and process your grieving in whatever way works for you. Share whatever you need to share. We can't solve each other's problems, but we can be a sounding board and a place of connection.

In the springtime of 1979, my brother Johnny was stationed at Fort Devens near Ayer, MA. He was special forces/Green Beret having completed basic at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, NC earlier that Fall.
I was a first year student at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. I was 19, he was 21.

I was reflecting on Tim Robbin's performance in Shawshank Redemption the other day, and it struck me how analogous his reaction to the warden's rejection of obvious truth is to my own reaction to "conservatives"

We recently visited my sister and her family in Tokoma Park, MD. I was really impressed with the comfortable and open "liberal" vibe there. It got me wondering how many smaller, under the radar towns are out there in our great country. I did a quick google on the subject and it kicked out quite a list,with some surprises. The usual suspects were there,eg Cambridge,MA, Berkeley, CA..but I'd love to hear from this community about your personal faves and why. BTW, we live in south western CT, we're kind of stuck here (barring a powerball intervention) for the next few years...but I'm planning for the future.

Now that Rush is feeling liberated by not having to carry water for republicans that write legislation that makes him cringe, I was wondering exactly how many other areas of his life might need "liberating"? My prediction, which I made on the Randi Rhodes show yesterday, is that Rush,
a) comes out of the closet,and accepts himself as a gay man.
b) gets some therapy and truly embraces a 12 step recovery program for his addictions and self loathing.
c) realizes he's been a "liberal" all along (can you say reaction formation? Look it up.)
d)takes Senator, Al Franken's spot on AA 12-3
BTW, Randi didn't get my humor and couldn't get past her vitriol for Limbaugh.

Winners pay losers. That's how an insurance agencys' owner summed up his business to me one day. It's one of lifes simple truisms. In the course of life, rare is the case where what one pays into the health care system in the form of insurance premiums, exactly matches services provided, and clearly, in the long run...well...winners pay losers.
So two large questions present themselves.
