Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!
Weighs one pound. Costs Four Bucks.

implying that Hillary would play an important role in his

Looks like I'm blogging again. The wordpress version of this blog that existed from 2010 to 2015 is no longer. I didn't pay my server and they deleted a ton of my files (notice holes everywhere where pictures should be) and I was about to lose the name "BurlingtonPol.com" forever too until seven brave heroes decided to make donations to allow me to keep it. Thanks to Kat, Hannah, Jason, Adele, Sonja, Tom and Jessica to be known hence as "The Heroes of The Revolution(!)" for donating a combined total of over $80 in 24 hours!
The timing couldn't be more fortuitous with Bernie announcing he's running for president two hours from now. I have to get down to the waterfront. I took a vacation day for this, although mostly I've been doing yard work. Luckily the Way Back machine has snapped a lot of pictures of my former work. I was able to find this recyclable gem from the 2006 senate race. Even more fitting today...
"His whole life was a million to one shot."
The mythology of Rocky Balboa is so easily fused with that of Bernie Sanders. The every man. The fighter with a dream up against impossible odds... Who among us can resist that narrative?
But as a practical matter. As a blogger... Well let me say this... Let me ask the rest of America... do you know what it's like to never need to write to your congressman, like ever, because you know he's going to virtually always do the right thing? There's not a lot to talk about... But good for you Bernie Sanders! Give 'em hell. We love you....
I'll post again after the big speech...
[Speech happens]
...ok I'm back to keep my promise. I honestly couldn't hear most of it from where I was. For actual coverage of the speech...VT Digger is a good source... I just soaked in the atmosphere....and snapped some selfies with Bob Kiss and Greg Guma, then played the "almost-Bernie-sightings game"
...Kat, Brian, Maisie and Ivan... Great to see you. And then on my way back to the car is was nice to chat with Bram Kranichfeld who was dressed in a suit on a pretty humid evening...
Some of Bernie's media people talking to Bill McKibben
I was standing there with Letterman
I was standing there with Letterman and his friend Paul
Do you recall?
The beauty of it all…
(Well I do. I do.)
When I was ten, he was my friend. The TV in my closet cast a glow.
I was up at one A.M. With The World's Most Dangerous Band,
And Jungle Jack on the twelve-thirty show.
He dropped things off a five-floor tower
The home office in Milwaukee is the Top Ten source of power.
Monkey cams and Velcro suits and How's he doing on time?
'cause here comes Larry “Bud” Melman and The Regulator Guy!
'Cause I was standing there on Letterman
I was standing there on Letterman and his friend Paul
Do you recall?
We could have had it all...
(Well I do. I do.)
His Cue cards smashed through empty windows and the gag just never got old
Hoosier Daddy on the cover of Rolling Stone. Lea Thompson and Sandler are not alone.
“There simply is no better man” so “Come on! Let's watch David Letterman!”
He likes cigars and driving fast cars and filling in for Johnny
Mujibur and Sirajul and Rupert Jee's Hello Deli
Quintuple bypass. Can't extort him for cash. Drew Barrymore lifted her blouse...
And one of his fans, intent on her plans, kept breaking into his house!
Be-Cause, I was standing there with Letterman
I was standing there with Letterman and his friend Paul
Do you recall?
The beauty of it all…
(I do. I do.)
Outside The Ed Sullivan Theater this morning, May 20, 2015…
Long story short... My blog BurlingtonPol is on life support. My server has deleted my files for non-payment and I am about to lose the domain name "BurlingtonPol.com" forever for lack of eighty bucks.
A couple of days ago they said I could still keep it for that much money, but time is running out.
If you have ever enjoyed reading BurlingtonPol.com, please consider making a donation of $5 or so, to help me keep the domain name and re-build the site. To help out, click the "donate" button below.
