That is also why I, too, am unelectable. Also, Thank you, Autocorrect, but i *never* mean "ducking."

Actually, I'd be okay with Clinton handing it off in 2020. She (and I) will be 73. Based on the limited dataset we have so far, I'd say that might be old enough to warrant careful consideration. I'd love to see Clinton/Warren 2016, although that might be a stretch for the fucking American electorate.

Yeah, that didn't exactly follow the script, did it?

Well, Barbara Boxer's dad <i>was</i> a lawyer, but in the 40's and 50's that was just kind of a relatively well-paid job. Mike Honda spent his first few years interned with his family; later they became sharecroppers in what is now Silicon Valley. (Remarkably, he managed to hold off Ro Khanna (D-Corporate) for at least another two years.

I'm sure there are others. They're just outnumbered.

B-but bankers didn't want to be boring! They were embarrassed at the country club when they compared W2s with the stockbrokers.

Funny, isn't it, that when they deregulated the S&L's, they all went broke and needed a big fat bailout. So they deregulated the banks and they all went broke and needed a big fat bailout. Is there anything left to deregulate, so we can validate this hypothesis (that regulation is necessary) with a third trial on a live patient?

"I am the daughter of a janitor and a mom who worked a minimum wage job at Sears."

How many other senators and congresscritters have anything like this kind of background? Or if there are any, what the fuck happened to their compassion?

Would it be creepy to quit my job, sell my house, buy an old VW microbus and just follow her around the country, grateful dead style?

Deregulate big Pharma and it will need a bailout in ten years after multi-billion dollar liability judgments.

Abolish the EPA as Gov. Goodhair suggests and hundreds of billions will be needed for new Superfund sites.
