They say news travels fast. But a cynic might have wondered Sunday whether word that Sen. Bernie Sanders has ended his presidential campaign and endorsed Hillary Clinton ever reached the far corners of Washington State, some 3,000 miles from the Wells Fargo Center.
How else to explain this craziness — a wired and tired 42-year-old Shanda Masta, cigarette dangling from her fire-engine red nails, telling the story of how she and 21 complete strangers all met up Thursday morning at Seattle’s Safeco Field and then drive 70 hours non-stop in four vans and a tricked-out RV called “The Berniemobile.” They took turns driving and sleeping upright, their moral compass set on Philadelphia.
It sounded like the lost verse of C.W. McCall’s 1970s classic “Convoy,” with everything except the “11 long-haired friends of Jesus on a chartreuse microbus.” They ditched one of the vans when it couldn’t clear a mountain pass in Montana, survived a thunderous hellstorm in Indiana, occasionally posted requests for more donations on GoFundMe and squabbled non-stop about when to stop and where.
And yet her tale had to be true; Masta was leaning against the flagship of their “Journey for Bernie” fleet, a big white Town and Country mini-van with Washington plates and “#NeverHillary” in big greasepaint across the back. Along with “#See You In Philly.”
But this wasn’t Philly. This was Parvin State Park in Elmer, N.J. — a lush lakeside oasis surrounded by cornfields and blueberry stands, now baking in 97-degree heat and a good 45 minutes from Center City.
Welcome to Bernstock, deep in the woods of South Jersey. Parvin is just one of the meeting hot spots for this Aquarian exposition of thousands of Sanders fanatics who’ve invaded the Philadelphia region in bumper-sticker-plastered vans, tents and sleeping bags jammed in the back.

Bernie’s 15 minutes is up. He is what he looks like an old putz.
And I'd like to make a point about the DNC emails. It seems to me that the focus is on the emails and the content of the emails. The real story is that there was clearly a conspiracy to keep Bernie from upsetting the Hillary for President Apple Cart.
The emails are just the evidence of that conspiracy. The DNC needs to apologize for conspiring with the Hillary campaign to ensure her nomination - not for a few emails that could otherwise be easily dismissed.
I'm hearing very little about this point of view. No finger pointing at Hillary who surely micromanaged it all. Or, perhaps, I'm just not listening carefully enough.

But they do have nice bodies.
Bernout or Berncoat?

Hey, IP. We’re fine here. Popcorn popping as I write.
Rush mentioned that Shrillary had to have her hands in the pie. He said that the reason she hasn’t come out and condemned the DNC actions is because she either suspects or knows that more emails will be revealed which will show that she is complicit.
Not sure if Rush said she micromanaged it, just that she was definitely involved.

Sequim is in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and is not near the Cascades. My wife and I live near the Cascades.
