Potpourri XI


"I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me." - Winston Churchill

Before we let 2012 slip away we should note the following irony concerning Elizabeth Warren. As an advocate for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau she made enemies in the Banking Industry who lobbied to block her appointment as Director of the Bureau. So now she is the newly elected Senator from Massachusetts and will probably sit on the Senate Banking Committee where she can keep their feet to the fire. Be careful what you wish for, boys.

 Washington Politics has now become a spectator sport - they call it "kicking the can". But this was a game we played as kids in the urban streets seventy years ago. It seems apropos that they have adopted a children's game - and reached back that far - but, of course, the rules of the game have changed.
