John Fund of the National Review recently penned a piece suggesting that "none of the above" be a choice on State presidential ballots. This should be a choice on all races as a means of bringing the parties quickly to heel and boost voter turnout to record levels!

From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
Unfortunately the Nevada situation is not over. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch today printed Dana Milbank's column from two days ago, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/does-bernie-sanders-want-to-be-t... It was filled with misinformation and unsubstantiated accusations, and subtitled "Candidate's increasingly harsh rhetoric could hurt the party in November." In a box they highlight the quote from Bernie, "We are taking on virtually the entire Democratic establishment." To me the fact that they think this sounds "bad" demonstrates that the powers that be just don't get it, they are lumping Bernie in with Trump as a kook, and they refuse to deal with the fact that people are angry with what has become of our economy, government and politics.
