Elizabeth Warren did a bit of outreach to Republicans today, urging them to remove from the omnibus budget bill that rollback of part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law that we covered earlier today. If you really oppose government bailouts, she said, then why on earth would you vote for this measure that would allow FDIC insurance to bail out banks that lose money on derivatives trades -- those risky little gambles that crashed the world economy back in 2008?

CNN says 2 days.
Wall is hell.
And also, more balls.

Get in line.
"The Koch Bros are technically 'The American people,' right?
Asking for a friend."

Sweet exoskeleton, Elizabeth!

In 2040 she'll be 91... and still probably have more on the ball than Republicans who aren't even born yet.
<i>Warren closed by asking Republican leaders, &ldquo;Who do you work for? Wall Street, or the American people?&rdquo;</i>
Well, duh!
