Damn straight! My gal Lizzie, whom I confess has received more thumbs down than thumbs up from me in the past, holds the sad distinction of being the only Democrat—and thus of course the only member—of the Senate Armed Services Committee not to vote to boost the Biden administration’s already massively bloated defense budget from…

Yo, Harvard! Some little girl needs her nose wiped!
Yeah, Snotty Little Lizzie needs her nose wiped. As you may have heard, Massachusetts Senator and Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren got into a bitch-slapping Twitter fight following a senate hearing devoted to the iniquities of Silicon giants like Facebook, Google, and Amazon.

42 Democrats in search of a policy
I don’t know if the recent vote in the Senate by 42 Democratic senators that temporarily derailed President Obama’s Pacific trade package was purely for show, but I suspect that much of it was. Politics is a two-way street, after all, and a smart politician always works both sides when he can. But there’s no…
