Van Jones: "There's been too much focus on Obama among progressives, Jones says, and not enough on growing the movement on our own terms..."
Tim Wise: "For all y’all rich folks, enjoy that champagne, or whatever fancy ass Scotch you drink.
And for y’all a bit lower on the economic scale, enjoy your Pabst Blue Ribbon, or whatever shitty ass beer you favor.

You need to drink up.
And quickly.
And heavily.
Because your time is limited."
Bob Herbert:"One of the most frustrating tendencies of mainstream leaders in the United States is their willingness, year after debilitating year, to embrace policies that have no hope of succeeding."
