Links for 02/04/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Hillary Clinton has a cell phone directory problem - too many millionaires, billioaires and Wall Street types (her husband shares that). Luckily for the Clintons, Elizabeth Warren is not running - although maybe a VP nod? Her problem is Joe Biden. Joe is Mr. Populist and he can finesse the abortion issue, although frankly Hillary can as well - both by attacking the professional pro-life movement as craven (which it is by the way) and by coming up with a set of tax subsidy increases for families with children that will make the GOP squeek (sadly, even the Catholic Jeb Bush). The real progressive alternative is not Warren, its Bernie Sanders and he is not running as a Democrat. Indeed, the Democrats are so afraid of him they do not mention his name, even though some kind of Socialist construct is what the working class needs.
The gentleman from Illinois is perfectly free to decorate using British Empire style if it is within his budget. We are prefectly free to call him a damn fool for doing so, as there is always an election coming, either primary or general. Even gerrymandering cannot necessarily protect stupid.
I would love to join the ladies and gentlemen of NCR for billiards, however I am otherwise engaged Due enlighten us sometimes as to why such a geographically diverse group will be in DC this or next week.
