Elizabeth Warren. Yeah.

Every time Elizabeth Warren opens her mouth she says something the world needs to hear. (Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating.  I guess we don't need to hear her coffee order, or her private conversations.  But when I hear her talking about our nation, about our economy, and about the social compact which underpins our society, it resonates for me in a way no politician has for a long, long time.) Professor Warren is like that fabulous teacher in high school or college.  I think we all had one:  The teacher you absolutely loved, whose class you would never miss no matter how sick you were, who made you look at the world in an entirely new way.  I listen to her and think, "This woman is smarter than I am."  I'll be honest -- I don't think that very often when I'm listening to someone running for office. Warren was on the Daily Show the other night.  (Yeah, I know, it's a comedy show -- and Jon Stewart has insightful, intelligent conversations with people.
