Feel The Bird

I know all this bird symbolism might be hard to SWALLOW. We may wish people would SPARROW us the religious overtones. Sometimes a bird is just a bird, yet many have a TALONt for finding a deeper significance. Maybe we shouldn't be too CHICKEN to entertain more liberal interpretations. After all, we are the left WING. We have always had the courage to face new ideas and not FINCH. And it is quite heartening to perceive this positive omen while the other side has been ROBIN us of delegates with their voter suppression tactics. We have been looking for a BEAKon of hope. I think it's a good thing that people are RAVEN about this amazing moment in our campaign.

My attention's on the caucuses today. Anxious to see Bernie PECK away at that delegate lead his opponent has. No TALON how it will end up. Hope all the caucusers are RAVEN up and ready to go.

They'll be in the streets soon. Riots are predicted, even kindergartners are threatening riots now.

They're saying, "If you are old enough to read, you are old enough to vote."
