From Sen. Bernie Sanders’ website:

“The Republicans have been absolutely determined to make certain that the rich and large corporations not contribute one penny for deficit reduction, and that all of the sacrifice comes from the middle class and working families in terms of cuts in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, LIHEAP, community health centers, education, Head Start, nutrition, MILC, affordable housing and many other vitally important programs.

“I cannot support legislation like the Reid proposal which balances the budget on the backs of struggling Americans while not requiring one penny of sacrifice from the wealthiest people in our country. That is not only grotesquely immoral, it is bad economic policy.”

Bernie Sanders

Looks wrong? A Nun who visited with us in Grade 11 explaind that this was probably okay as long as it didn’t lead to actual sins (unless the one that is sleeping is actually passed out, she’s in the wrong) but smokin’ and Drinkin’ were okay according to that Nun. Apparently to Mother Superior there too.

Same-Sex Marriage Celebration of the Day: As promised, Avenue Q puppets Rick and Rod celebrated the first day of same-sex marriages in the state of New York by tying the knot outside City Hall in NYC.

New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who was the major driving force behind the Empire State’s legalization of same-sex marriage, proclaimed today a Day to Commemorate Marriage Equality.

In New York City, hundreds of couples lined up to be a part of history; for many, today marked an end to decades of anticipation. “It’s an indescribable feeling,” said 76-year-old Phyllis Siegel, who waited 23 years to marry her partner, 84-year-old Connie Kopelov. “It was just so amazing,” says Siegal. “That’s the only word that can describe it.”
