Proud to still be a Vermonter at heart, who helped elect Bernie Sanders, subject of a recent Guardian profile. It would be oddly ironic if this Senate outlier finally got famous. I'm glad he's calling on the Wall Street protesters to organize and get an articulated agenda, because Bernie knows talk ultimately doesn't get anything done, and doesn't get anyone elected. He should know - he's had a long track record of backing up his words with action, in a state known for its practicality and low tolerance for b.s.!

Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
I'd be proud, too. Thank you for helping elect him. He's the one BS I like.

Wonderful, there need to be more like him! He kind of reminds me of the late Jack Layton (leader of the NDP party in Canada ).
