In Which We Discuss:
1. Bernie Sanders hates your cable company just as much as you, and that’s why he’s can be the President.
2. Alan Grayson has a novel idea: running as an actual Democrat in a Democratic primary. Guess who the establishment people are supporting…

4. Jeb Bush currently has all the money but don’t worry, if you work longer hours it’ll trickle down. That’s worked in history, right?
5. If Germany can Shock Doctrine Greece, does this mean that California can Shock Doctrine Kansas and get rid of Sam Brownback?

4. Jobs. We have more of them than we used to.
5. Patriot Act. We have less of it than we used to.
