Turns out that her participation in playtime with Bill probably saved us from a round of responsible, common-sense entitlement reform.

As you'll recall, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich hate each other. Hate, hate, hate.

But when it came to @#$%ing the 99%, they were able to overcome animosity and work together for their paymasters. Hard hearts softened, a beautiful thing.

The Pact Between Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich

It all started when Bill's Chief of Staff, a little-known demon named Erskine Bowles, saw a glorious opportunity to grab the cash being wasted on the useless eaters that had become too elderly to produce stuff in his many businesses. Medicare and Social Security. Cut.

So he brokered a deal with Bill and Newt. They had a deal! Medicare and Social Security. Cut.

Now they had to sell it to Congress. But just as that was about to happen, Bill "did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky", and the resulting circus shut down Erskine's dream. Of course Erskine's no wimp, he's still going for the gold even today.

So thanks, Monica! If it weren't for your participation in a consensual and mutually-respectful whatever-it-was, even more elderly Americans would be even more @#$%ed than they are today.

At a White House party. I won't get specific, because it might reveal her identity. (Feel free to assume that I'm lying about this.)

If you're still with me... she found it to be both totally disgusting and totally intriguing. He was good at his craft. She didn't jump at the opportunity, but she thought about it, and she was more than a decade older than Lewinsky, far more experienced in "the ways of the world". And she was close to Hillary, not Bill.

Think about it. The President of the United States. A bit of a power imbalance there.

Anyway, when I heard that story, I became much more sympathetic towards Ms. Lewinsky. How do you say no to... that?

(Somehow, I suspect that this post will make everyone who reads it angry at me for some reason or another.)

My head exploded when I saw this video yesterday: Alex Jones, long a rabid enemy of Senator Warren, is now praising her! She's a "genuine person", showing a clip of her appearance on the Daily Show. "She's been coming up with pretty good reforms".

HUH? ALEX JONES? WHA?



It might that Mr. Jones has been dabbling in hallucinogenics or has had a brain injury, but here's how I see it:

America's 99% know that we're getting horribly assaulted and abused by the Predator Class and their paid politicians. It's taken 30 years, but finally almost all of us agree on this.

The thing we don't agree with are the way forward.

Some, like Jones and his followers, have a notion that America was at its greatest when we all ran around with guns, paid no taxes, and had few laws, that we need to return to that state that never actually existed.

Liberals, on the other hand, believe that America was at its greatest when government was run on Liberal principles - we had fair laws that were fairly enforced, the Predator Class was kept in check and taxed fairly, and supporting (not devouring) the 99% was our government's focus. Unlike Jones' crew, we Liberals have actual facts and history to back us up.

Unlike most other Democrats, Elizabeth Warren is a Liberal with a message that appeals to all Americans who will listen a bit:

1. She admits that things are a disaster today.
2. She admits that both political parties have caused this disaster, that they are both in the pocket of the Predator Class. Without this admission, no political candidate has a shred of credibility today. None.
3. She calls things as they are. "'Chained CPI' is just a fancy way to say 'cut benefits for seniors, the permanently disabled, and orphans'." "If JPMorgan is so happy with their settlements that they are rewarding their CEO with a big raise, do you really think the federal bank regulators were tough enough?".
4. She focuses on, and fights for, the needs of everyday people, of the 99%, and doesn't give a shred of credence to the utter bullshit about Job Creators and trickle down. "Trickle down doesn't work. Never did". She's floated a $22 an hour minimum wage and wants to put bankers that break the law in jail. None of this "too big to prosecute" stuff for Warren.

And she does this all with a grace, a calm fury, and a poetry that only the most demented Predators cannot admire.

We've been fooled before by candidates who talk "Middle Class" then walk "Predator Class". But Warren seems to not be that: she's been saying the right thing rather than the expedient thing for decades, and has a deep track record of action.

Alex Jones finally shut the @#$% up, listened, got an inkling of what he was missing before, and possibly for the first time ever said nice things about a Liberal. That may change tomorrow, but it's still pretty amazing. The same is happening with my Republican friends: they're starting to listen to Warren, too. Not fully converted, but ready for a conversation. And if Liberals can just get a conversation started among the 99%, we'll win every single time, because the facts and evidence are entirely on our side.

I believe that Senator Warren has no equal in either political party in the ability to excite and attract voters across the spectrum. To the degree that we support her, we can win back our country.

would they have been turned to Freedom Mist™ by a friendly drone?

Here's my proof:

most who run for President accomplish... ever. (For the 99%, I mean)

She's helped to start turning the thing around. A strong, clear voice, The Truth.

I understand that makes a small group of loud Democrats mad as hell - they like things the way they are now. They're doing fine while the 99% burn.

Tough noogies. Change, real Change, is coming, whether you want it or not.

It's our turn; out of the way, knuckleheads!
