Perhaps I should have let someone else post news of Warren Buffett's endorsement; the post may have given the impression that I endorse it too, which I don't. Still, I'm glad Buffett's backing a Democrat; as much as Hillary Clinton leaves to be desired, the GOP alternative is simply unthinkable.

Hopefully, Bernie can leave them both in the dust. It can be so hard to overcome media noise though.
