#Birdie Sanders Top Trending Hashtag …
According to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service study, birdwatchers contributed $36 billion to the US economy 2006, and one fifth (20%) of all Americans are identified as birdwatchers.
A birdie excites lefties. Excitement on the other side of the aisle is R-Rated (something about rats and copulation). A yuuge symbolic difference between the choices for voters in 2016.
“The Environment Endorses Sanders.”
Waaay more birders than hunters. But USF&W still manages wildlife to advantage deer and such whose numbers are destroying biodiversity in the forests, including small mammals and birds, and preventing forest recruitment.
I can’t begin to write how little interest I have in the wives and affairs of Cruz and Trump. otoh some pretty neat logos appearing on the dem side since that bird incident
I can’t begin to write how little interest I have in anything to do with the GOP primaries. OTOH, that’s what has dominated the MSM, internet, and blogs (including the FP here); so, the choice is nothing, the GOP primary, or how awesome and formidable HRC is (or get troll rated for not drinking the Clinton kool-aid).
That said, it’s still amusing that the GOP is comparing dicks and how hot their wives are.
Remember when a white dove alighted on Castro’s shoulder during his post-revolution victory speech?
Not exactly a dove for Bernie, but then…not exactly a victorious revolution, either.
Not yet, anyway.
A start, nevertheless…

Never saw that. Apparently three doves were there. Staged? Possibly. Very dramatic.
A little birdie is more Bernie’s style. Not flashy or assuming and just part of the ecosystem.
Dunno how “staged” it was. I wasn’t there. But I have personally seen some things from Santeria/Syncretismo/call-it-what-you-will that defy so-called rational explanation.
As Shakespeare so wisely wrote in Hamlet:
Like dat.

Seems the main point of the quote notwithstanding the wider audience for undreamt things. “Welcoming the wondrous strange” since 1954.
Even if staged, it’s a good show. Can you still imagine, so long ago in the misty past Fidel Castro and associates decidedly defied the dictates of the US hegemony. The whisper that haunted the country, in newspapers and on TV was ‘Castro is a Communist, Castro is a Communist.’ ‘No he’s not…’ ‘Oh yes he is.’ I remember it so well, that was the first time I consciously experienced government inspired fear, the kind that’s dished up everyday nowadays. McCarthy was too early and bit too complicated from someone of my age then. And now Cuba bursts in a blaze of potential economic glory in the US media because the US government now approves. First priority, tourism. I don’t have to go there anymore.
Sanders 2016: let’s give plutocrats the bird
I’m still partial to pitchforks for that task.
As a prudent Wonkette commenter would say, “pitchforked ‘with votes‘”.
Birdie Sanders Raises $44 million in March.
As usual, the USAToday article included a “Bernie can’t win” notation. With her PACs, HRC still has more money. And all the big ticket fundraisers that Hill, Bill, or Chelsea headlined in March may have matched the Sanders campaign. At $2,700 a pop, it’s a battle of the 1% vs. the 90%.
