Brown still addressing Warren as "professor" instead of "senator-elect."

In yesterday's Boston Globe article "Warren looking for the ‘little cracks that are windows of opportunity’" Brown is reported to have refrained from addressing Senator-Elect Warren appropriately when he met with her after the election. What an effing sore loserman Brown has proven to be! (Of course, we all suspected that, didn't we?)

great article where she lays out her thinking about her Senate role and says, "I'm not patient."

Read the entire article here: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2012/12/09/elizabeth-warren-establishment-critic-showing-restraint-she-prepares-for-clubby-senate/inL3uRhfVPVbOkbB7yQohM/story.html

Although it really sickens me that he'll get another government pension.

He is such an ass.

Brown is betting that anti-intellectualism will hobble Warren so that she can't do any real banking reform.

And Faux will jump right on this bandwagon.

10. "Senator-elect" is not a title, its a description. Brown is still the Senator and Warren is not

And by the way, Elizabeth Warren is one of only two politicians who I donated money to this last election cycle and she got the most and she got my money first. I happen to think she will be one of the greatest Senators who ever served, but she is not a Senator yet and does not deserve the title of Senator. Not yet.

12. some years back I wrote a letter in reply to some jackass.

It started out
"Dear sir(and I use the title advisedly, after all it is a sign of respect):"

I got more sarcastic as the letter went on refuting all of his points.
