1. Gee. Isn't that what a Hater would say?

Like the time Krugman said Bernie's plans weren't sound? Krugman was wrong then, too.

William K. Black explains:

Krugman and the Gang of 4 Need to Apologize for Smearing Gerald Friedman

EXCERPT...

If we combine both of Paul’s screeds we see that the only way to disagree with a prominent economist is to demonize them as either “corrupt” or “enemies.” They are apparently inerrant. Paul was eager to use “authority” raised to the second power (the Gang of 4 plus both barrels – two hours apart – The “Full Krugman”) to prevent anyone actually looking at the Gang of 4’s letter and Friedman’s study. Indeed, as I was finishing this first article in a series on their smear I found that Krugman has tripled down on his smear of Friedman with a Sunday column.

2. Here's a list of 191 Dems running "with Bernie". They get my $$

Not the DNC which will just give it to Hillary anyway.

7. Stephanie Piddick's platform is completely in line with Bernie’s

I'm sure its why she's aligned herself with him.

But point taken, I shouldn't have used "Dems". Some are definitely Independents or Greens.

And I'm ok with that.

8. and I'm not

even if the Green is running against the bluest of blue dogs, the only thing they can do is be a spoiler, flipping the seat to a Republican.

As such, that part of the "revolution" is not strengthening the Democratic Party.

To my surprise though, Democrats DO have a candidate for the Senate in SD. I wonder who made that happen? http://www.jaywilliams2016.org/#!issues/wp1vs

3. Just dying to get that cabinet job, eh?

4. "Oh by the way, which one's Pink?"

"And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train..."

9. Is there a Nobel Prize in attack dog?

How low the once sometimes-pretty-good have fallen!

10. I've always thought this, and I'm so glad that someone like Krugman is...

... is helping to get this out there.
