Professor Warren

Elizabeth Warren is my front-runner right now.


She can read. She's been learning an awful lot about how things get done and how things are kept from being done, and she's not shy about being pugnacious - about getting in the Repubs' faces about it.

I've worked with women like her - the ones who'll look power in the eye and say straight out, "Oh c'mon", when she hears something she knows is clearly false or rationalizing or silly. I don't know what it is about that particular phrase. Could be just the fire beneath it. Could be the commitment to finding and speaking the truth. Could be a lot of stuff. But somehow, when a smart capable woman says that, a big part of the bullshit stops dead in its tracks.

And she's a teacher. Fake lord knows we could use some good solid instruction on a shitload of things too many of us have either neglected to learn, or actively and purposely forgotten.
