1. Finally!

When the MSM does human interests stories on Bernie, we know the "blockade" is over!

2. Wow, Bernie had to win a primary

by 22 points in order for the "mainstream" media to start taking his candidacy seriously. While they were busy ignoring him, he was busy building a grassroots army by word of mouth and social media. The MSM should be feeling pretty irrelevant right about now.

3. See what socialism gets you? They only had one ball.

I'm kidding!!!

Nice piece. They should do a whole segment on 60 Minutes.

6. I grew up the same way in Queens about 12 years later.

On the weekends we used to play outside all day unsupervised and we would wander throughout the neighborhood, playing and exploring. We used to play stickball in the Spring and Summer. touch football in the Autumn and Winter. When it snowed we would build castles in the snow and have snowball fights. The boys and girls usually played separately but occasionally we would come together and play ringolevio, a tag game. We had freedom that young kids don't have today. I started playing outside unsupervised at six and my mother was considered overprotective at the time.

7. I'm curious

There are a lot of right wing propaganda pieces floating around about how Bernie didn't make a dime until he was into his 40's. I'd love to find out even more information on this as I'm a huge Bernie supporter. I am researching on my own, but any information as to how he earned his keep as a young adult?

I, for one, don't care. His record is enough for me. But I'd sure like to have more information for rebuttal purposes.
