Corona, Swedish Style: What Vermont Might Learn! (“COVID COOPERATION”)
April 14, 2020Vermont’s Emerging “Nanny State”? (UN’COVID’EMPLOYMENT)
April 15, 2020Publisher’s Note: Watching this afternoon’s ZOOM address in which former Democratic Party president Barack Obama endorsed (?!) his former vice president, “Platitude Joe” Biden, a lifelong Democratic Party neoliberal career corporatist, corrupt war criminal, and eight time accused sex offender/rapist, I am reminded of one of my favorite Vermont independence jokes.
Q. Who was the loneliest person in the United States the day after Obama’s 2008 presidential election?
A. A Vermont secessionist.
For years, trying to get any Vermont progressive or liberal to reckon with Barack Obama’s imperial political record has proved a futile exercise. Obama put most Vermonters to sleep for eight years – ignore the Wall Street bailout, the seven wars, the aggressive prosecution of whistleblowers, the drone bombing, the pandering to emerging “intersectional wokeness,” the kowtowing to the Lords of the Cloud, “Hey,” they would respond, “we elected a black guy!” That Mr. Obama is now emerging to endorse Joe Biden is predictable, if pathetic.
