Notes From A Berniecat

So I’m not a Berniecrat (don’t like the term, not sure why), I am definitely not a “Bernie Bro” and “Bernie Sanders Democrat” sounds tedious so in short, because Bernie and Cats, Berniecat. Obviously, really. Of course I’m a Berniecat. Berniecats unite. Berniecats are go.

It’s a Berniecat new era. I approve.

I saw them on Solano Ave and we got lunch together, they had it on a walkman, and they seemed unhappy with it, deliberating about cutting the whole thing again from scratch. I had no opinion, other than, like, “do it if you want to, guys!” We are glad they did.

The Berkeley Cat Record Podcats is all the way up to EPISODE TWO!!! It’s incredible. A vast, almost entire hour of…. CONTENT! Content is what everything is called now. I like my Content.
