Fractured Definition

Mischief — when Elizabeth Warren lost out being the leader of her Cherokee tribe because she was a squaw. (Native Americans were misogynists/sexists, you see.)

A Poem

Clinton Chappaqua Estate

Now comes the time
For us to rhyme
About beloved Hillary

She took a server
Made it serve her
For her skulduggery

From nearly broke
She and her bloke
Found a money tree

With friends inside
They greased the slide
With a phony charity

Others took the bait
With her at State
I scratch you, if you, me

She's made amends
With many friends
One who's partly Cherokee

The pelf rolled in
For all her kin
One ending in maternity

She got so rich
That Oz-land witch
Life was all 99 Chablis

At the Chappaqua manse
She took no chance
It's now a risky property

So, as ye can clearly see
You built a wall for me
But not for thee

Naughty Not Nice

Texas State Senator Wendy Davis is the new left-wing candidate for the Texas Governorship.  Her claim to fame was her long filibuster in the Texas Senate … railing against its proposed new abortion laws.  This has made her a super-heroine to feminists across the U.S. ... resulting in large campaign donations and much favorable media hype.  I have written before about the basic inanity of her objections to these new Texas abortion laws … see: The Coat Hanger.

However, her pumped-up curriculum vitae is beginning to deflate as a result of some revealing reporting on the part of Wayne Slater of the Dallas Morning News.  To understand the blatant degree of her smarminess (lying, child abandonment, gold-digging, infidelity, grandstanding, etc.) please read this: Breitbart Article.  How can a politician show such contempt for human decency? (I guess I just answered my own question.)

But at least we can be thankful that she has not claimed to be part Cherokee Indian.

Sitting Bull

I had always been curious why the Democrats in Washington never backed Elizabeth Warren to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.  She was, after all, the face behind this consumer-reform push coming out of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Law.  My wife and I were even somewhat sympathetic to her cause back then (my wife more than I).

I think we have since discovered this hesitancy on the left ... Elizabeth Warren is one gigantic fraud:

- First it was discovered that she has claimed Native-American heritage ... for which there is no documented proof ... and as a result of which it is quite likely that she has received juicy jobs in academia.  She refuses to authorize release of employment records that would clear up this issue.

- Second it was noted that all the recipes (three, I think) that she submitted to the book, Pow Wow Chow, under the attribution that she was a Cherokee, had been cribbed virtually word for word from other sources ... ironically the New York Times in two instances..

- Now, it is revealed that Ms. Warren has apparently been practicing law in Massachusetts without the proper licensure.  Since I am not conversant with the ins and outs of this issue, I refer you to the lawyer, John Hinderaker, to explain things fully in his blog post at Powerline.

- Lastly, in frequent debates and discussions on local radio here in Massachusetts, Ms. Warren, when asked embarrassing questions, has been evasive to the point of listener-cringing.  Just the other day she was queried as to why the current poobahs at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau were making high six-figure salaries.  She responded with a litany of the good things this agency was doing but, conveniently and obviously, never answered the question.

Her campaign in this state against Senator Scott Brown has basically devolved into one talking point -- her election here will help keep the Republicans from taking over the Senate.  In other words, "hold your nose and vote for me."
