The Golden State Warriors rallied to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder in game seven of the NBA western conference finals Monday, and among the celebrities on hand was Bernie Sanders. Even politicians deserve an occasional respite from politicsthough the Vermont socialist couldnt resist a political allusion of his own. The Warriors were down 3-1 and they turned it around and I think that thats what were going to do too. A very good omen for our campaign, Mr. Sanders said, according to the pool report.

Why was he cheering, rather than occupying? Isnt the minimum wage spelled out in Steph Currys four-year, $44 million contract an outrage when income inequality is growing? Is it right that the team that scores the most points wins, rather than redistributing points equally?

ESPN reveals that list prices for tickets averaged $960, and tickets near Mr. Sanderss section were trading on the secondary market between $1,650 and $1,750. Courtside floor seats a few rows ahead were going for as much as $58,000 a pair. That small fortune could almost pay for a year of debt-free tuition at an elite university. its reasonable to conclude Mr. Sanders sat among the 1% he otherwise says need to be held accountable.

Ethics rules prohibit Senators from accepting gifts valued over $100, with an exception for gifts over $250 from personal friends with written permission. If the campaign purchased or reimbursed the ticket for the candidate, thats a lot of $27 contributions. Perhaps Mr. Sanders should clarify exactly which type of money he wants out of politics.

(4,787 posts)Did they win by relying on those weak, unchallenged points, which are totally subject to the whim of some referee??? That's just not fair.
