I'd be happy to be Bernie's VP. I'm old enough, I'm smart enough (and doggone it, people like me!), I'm from a very different part of the country (Colorado), I'm great at coming up with ideas no one else has thought of, and sitting around as Vice President would make me feel more useful than I do now.

I can't wait to explain to all the Walker fans how ridiculous the Laffer curve is. We'll be able to make it a meme.

I've made a serious version before of a way to deal with obstruction in the Senate, but I want to be cynical just this once and rewrite Art. II, Sec. 2 to read:
"The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the shirking of responsibility of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session."

From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
Good morning Dr. Hartmann,
Have you considered the retiring Barbara Boxer (D-CA) for a potential VP running mate for Sen. Bernie Sanders? She has been a Progressive at least as long as Bernie.
The longer I watch your program on FSTV, the more difficult it is to watch or listen to anyother network news program. Even The Stephanie Miller Show has become a problem for me. Keep up the great work of enlightenment.
Cheers,
