Socialist Leads U.S. Senate Race in Vt.

I'll say it again: "Socialist Leads U.S. Senate Race in Vt."

Gosh, I love the sound of that in an age where Barry Goldwater is considered a "liberal" by the majority of the Republican Senators in the United States Congress. Yes, that is the title of the article in the Yahoo! News by a reporter for the Associated Press.

In other Sunday night blogging, I came across a web logger who wrote a great analysis of how deep Bernie Sanders' support is in Vermont.

Also, came across, via Sirotablog.com, a Christian Science Monitor article reprinted on MSN.com about Wal-Mart. It's a nice summary of the issues surrounding the phenomenon that is Wal-Mart--and one is still left with the feeling that what's good for Wal-Mart is only good for Wal-Mart... or maybe China.

And, finally, for the evening, if we were living in a more just world, we'd be talking about reforming Social Security so that rich people didn't rip off their share of paying into the system by forming Sub-Chapter S corporations (thanks to Nathan Newman, labor lawyer and blogger, for catching that one).

If democracy means corporate ownership of politicians and the political apparatus, then socialism sounds pretty good to me.

At least I would get free health care and education...
