I'm following this with more interest than any of our own local elections.
Why?
It's time. The only real - sincere - candidate for decades. In Canada or the US, and I daresay a lot of Europe. I could have believed Obama, but not after his track record. He was posing. Bloomberg was a demon. Biden - means well, but too centrist. Warren - yes, but she hasn't sparked the popular imagination.
It amazes me how the Democrats have trenched in behind Biden - and - if it carries on, it will be to their loss, the Donald will win again, and no one, not in the USA, not in the world, can afford another 4 years of that Ass Hole.
Bernie, whose policies would benefit 99% of Americans, has a track record going back 50 years of activism, involvement and integrity - and he has to SELL this to the American Public? It's fucking crazy. It's their last hope at restoring democracy - literally, and it's slender at that - and the Democrats would rather put up with another 4 years of Trump than back someone who they fear is opposed to their graft and interest.
This will be interesting, and I have a terrible feeling, tragic.

Dumb, but I watched it for the scene where they do the advert that interrupts the Carter Presidential Address, and that was funny. Kurt Russell is a stylish clotheshorse for the era, and it's a bit of a blast-from-the-past to see all the big junker cars (which withstood a hell of a lot more abuse than our new modern ones), 70's technology - answering machines, telephones, big TV Cameras - and - there's a scene with a CB where they say "10-4" and any movie that has that can't be ALL bad (actually, it can). Meh. Sometimes it's good to watch something a bit dumb. On that note, surprising how sexy those go-go girls were - and how attitudes have shifted with the plethora of cheap pornography.

Saw this making the rounds on the internet, today's tempest in a Teacup. The energy company named is denying that it's them, which is perfect, because if it isn't the Conservatives can grab it and make it the new Alberta Logo.
I'm not sure what all the outrage is about, really. It is that offensive, to be sure, but it's only that offensive because it's true. Maybe if Alberta could get away from the memory of easy money it could find it's way forward, but not under this government...
