Bernie Sanders Buys a Summer Home in North Hero

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the proud new owner of a summer home in the Champlain Islands, Seven Days has confirmed.

The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero.

Sanders’ new crib has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the east side of the island — facing Vermont, not New York. The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally

So the GOP has become such a mess, you're a Sanders supporter now? That's saying a lot right there since we know you're a red or die kind of dude.

I am guessing that we are supposed to infer that the summer home for Bern was purchased with Killary hush money.

I guess someone sold his pad and moved permanently to the beaches of Ankara.

It would be nice to have his input for this election.

Why is your font so small? Is that you trying to whisper? SPEAK UP! We can't hear you in the front...

I'm all for going on a mission to find him. This meltdown wouldn't be complete without his input. Need to ask Oriz to organize a search party.

Sanders then goes on to explain his ideas about gender roles and eventually gets at a sharper point — that traditional gender roles help create troubling dynamics in men's and women's sex lives.

"Many women seem to be walking a tightrope," he writes, as their "qualities of love, openness, and gentleness were too deeply enmeshed with qualities of dependency, subservience, and masochism."

One way to read the essay is that Sanders was doing (in a supremely ham-handed way) what journalists do every day: draw the reader in with an attention-getting lede, then get to the meat of the article in the middle.

You can draw divergent conclusions from the article itself. On the one hand, he's talking about liberating people from harmful gender norms. On the other, with his nameless hypothetical "man-and-woman" characters, he also seems to imply that men fantasize about raping women or that women fantasize about being raped.

.....

Michael Briggs, Sanders' campaign spokesman, said the article was a "dumb attempt at dark satire in an alternative publication" that "in no way reflects his views or record on women. It was intended to attack gender stereotypes of the '70s, but it looks as stupid today as it was then."

and this is why i consistently have onion articles passed around like the living word of god on the ol fb..

Honestly, if I was Gary I'd take the beaches of Ankara over Lake Champlain also. I've been to north hero and it's nice, but nothing beats the sea/ocean.

One has to wonder where a poor, struggling, middle-aged guy who can't afford to run a campaign suddenly gets a house like this. He drops out of the race, he endorses Hillary, he has new home. Must be coincidence.
