Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has taken to the floor and is mounting a real-live filibuster. It was 1993. I was in grad school at LSU. Best friend was a dude from Vermont. Yankees down south stick together :).
I took a train up there to see him one summer, reading One Hundred Years of Solitude twice, once each way. Coolest state I've ever been to. By far the coolest. His mother was an elected official, heck she ran the Senate. I have always been a liberal, but I spent many hours talking to her and she make me MORE liberal.
You go Bernie, you go! If I could I'd be standing behind you itching to talk for a few hours. I've been known to talk awhile ....
Some motivation.
