"The Empire State Strikes Back" is the headline on MSNBC

Oh the irony.

Hugs and love to all my fellow Bernie supporters.

The US as empire.. I think we care about that more than the other ones do, don't we? It sometimes reminds me of the spouses of abusive and violent or criminal people, the spouses who happily ignore what the spouse is doing that destroys the lives of other people, as long as they get to continue in their current lifestyle.

Interesting the crawler was showing 98% in and it's now showing 94% in. With a 58/40 split, still.

The larger irony is that The Empire will be well-protected and well-empowered in the hands of Hillary.

And in the eyes of the world that gets subjected to our drone strikes and wars and weapons deals to corrupt dictatorships, the analogy is all too real.

NY gave Bernie 42% which is a fair showing; just not exactly enough at this stage of the game. When the votes all get counted I suspect it will be 45%.i surely don't blame NY. It's a glorious place.
