Bernie Sanders: Most courageous man in America

Bernie Sanders In case you haven't heard about it, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is currently filibustering the on the Senate floor over the tax deal. This 13-minute clip of the start of his speech, given earlier this morning, may be one of the most courageous and important speeches made in my lifetime.

Go Bernie! Finally somebody's willing to say it, and say it loud.

Just came across your blog, via A Design so Vast blog, and then Claire, your wife's blog, and I wanted to say that I wholeheartedly agree with you about Bernie Sanders. I am an ex Vermonter (hoping to once again be sometime in the not too distant future) and Bernie is my personal hero. That's all. Bernie rocks and we are lucky to have him.
