Any TPM afficianadi also listeners to NPR will have noticed how Elizabeth Warren (dare I say, our own Elizabeth Warren is all over (including a spot on *Fresh Air!!I)

Anyway, according to Prof. Warren, it all started with a phone call from Harry Reid.

Granted, he probably had already heard of the venue of her day job (some school near M.I.T.—they play Brown in football, I think…). And she was not without visibility absent her TPM blog.

Yet and still, could it be that when Harry met Liz’ it was middled by Josh?

*I would kill to be across the table from Terry Gross, face to face, and hear her laugh!)

Ok, ok, I admit to residual giddyness attendant upon watching Prez announce the appointment of, inter alia a Nobel Laureate teammate. And even though there may be small-minded and carping cynics who smell a whiff of "today America, tomorrow the world," bear with me. The world faces problems that can really only be solved via world government. This guy has the chops to actually herd 200 c(ountries)ats. Geopolitical change happens at internet speed, and we are seeing boundaries fall between classes, across oceans, erasing estrangments, bridging languages, blah blah blah... Just because there is no job called World President today does not mean there will not be a primary in 2015. On to Iowa!
