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 Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."

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,
