American Spring

Al Gore:
We need to have an American spring,” he said. “Non-violent change, where people from the grassroots get involved again. Not in the tea party style. There are people who are genuinely upset in the tea party, I understand that, but that movement was funded with seed money from right-wing billionaires, the Koch brothers, and promoted on Fox News and turned into a stalking horse for this right-wing agenda that a lot of people have been trying to push on this country for a long time.”

“This country is in trouble,” Gore added. “Our democracy has been withering on the vine. This has been going on for some time.”
Wisconsin. Even though they try to burn down the opposition. But even Governor Walker has to creep away from his plan to shut DMV offices in Democratic areas.

Stella introduced me to Leonard Cohen. She, unlike me, can listen to his works and exult rather than cry. And if our nation is saved... choose your sense of the word, secular or sacred... it will be through truly inspired people like her, not cranky old curmudgeons like me.

I need to visit that web site to see if any part of the American Spring events are to take place in the Oil-Soaked City where we might see it.

(American Spring... this isn't going well at all!)

(Next, a commenter on InfoWars... "What Al Gore needs is some American spring steel up his ass. Literally. The man is a traitor." OK, I give up. Right about now, if Al Gore called for a revolution, I'd follow him. After all, he WAS elected President...)
