The Lone Ranger and Elizabeth Warren-Tonto: Looks Like They've Got Us; What You Mean Us White-Eyes? Indian Wars 2012 a.k.a. Native American Wars a.k.a. Indigenous Ethnicity Wars a.k.a. War on Sqaws a.k.a. PPPCIONC Wars (Post-Pangean, Pre-Columbian Inhabitants of Northern Continent Wars)
Can Scott Brown's 32/32 "Brownness" trump Elizabeth Warren-Tonto's 31/32 White-Eyes ethnicity?
In response to polling surges by her opponent (Republican incumbent Scott Brown)
in the 2012 race for the Senate in Massachusetts, Elizabeth
Warren-Tonto, noted
Native American, Harvard Faculty Member, and Senate Candidate, said to her Lone
Ranger sidekick: "It looks like they've got us," to which
her sidekick replied, "What you mean 'us' White-Eyes?" She
replied, "You mean all 1/32nds?"
When asked about the controversy, her opponent, Scott Brown, pointed out that he
had never sought to interject ethnicity into the race: "I never tried
to play my 'Brownness' card even though I'm 32/32 Brown."
Jim is a proud descendant of 18th Century criminal exiles from England who swam to the Outer Banks when the British ship taking them to a Georgia penal colony sank in a storm near Cape Hatteras. Having the prescience to prevent their descendants from becoming "TarHeels," they immediately migrated to Virginia, where, within just a few generations they worked their way up into poverty. Jim's grandfather was the first in the family tree to see the distant horizons, but his career was cut short by severe injuries he sustained when a cousin cut down the tree.
After a brief stint in the Amry (ours) following graduation from law school, he began his legal career in the state bureaucracy but was never able to break into the federal bureaucracy. Several years later, he entered the private practice of law and co-founded a small law publishing company. Later, finding the publishing of small laws unstimulating and finding his private practice too private to be lucrative, he began writing political satire/commentary. His greatest vice is taking himself too seriously.
Although he regularly teaches Continuing Legal Education courses to lawyers, he's too-often available through he Rubber Chicken Speakers Bureau to speak on politics, satire, etc., at luncheons, dinners, root canals, funerals, etc. His speaking fees are so outrageously high they border on criminal price-gouging, but as a free-market advocate, he defends his fees on the higher moral ground of charging whatever the traffic will bear.
