It's The Tomahawk Chop For Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren, a candidate for the Senate and the Cherokee tribe, is fading in at least one of those efforts, but she is delivering great material for Saturday Night Live:

Society: ‘We have no proof’ of Liz Warren’s claim

By Hillary Chabot

Elizabeth Warren’s embattled campaign faced another setback yesterday after the New England Historic Genealogical Society said there is no proof of her Native American heritage, forcing the novice candidate back to square one in the ongoing scandal, according to pundits.

Wild Bill Jacobson gets results!

But it ain't over 'til it's over, and Ms. Warren has another arrow in her quiver:

Another claim of Warren’s Native American lineage had come from her campaign, which had sent the Herald an undated Muskogee Sunday Phoenix article saying Warren’s cousin had “been involved” in the Five Civilized Tribes Museum in Oklahoma.

The cousin, Janyne “Candy” Rowsey, is listed in the article as judging a student art show at the museum. Her obituary shows she also edited “Pow Wow Chow,” a Native American cookbook produced by the museum. A spokeswoman at the museum said yesterday that she recognized the Rowsey name but she could not detail the cousin’s involvement at the tribal art museum.

This is a candidate for the US Senate? Wow. Just, wow. OK, just 'pow wow'. Wasn't there a sequel for dog lovers (NO, not Barack!) titled "Bow Wow Chow"? Darn this Amazon...

Waves of nostalgia are washing over me as I have a Nineties flashback. The best thing - actually the only good thing - about seeing the Atlanta Braves in the baseball playoffs each year was watching the painfully PC Jane Fonda doing the Tomahawk Chop.

And now Elizabeth Warren is talking up "Pow Wow Chow" as her entree into Cherokee Nation. SNL should save their scriptwriters some time and just read the Warren press releases.

Yes, Clarice, THE Marilyn Horne who was in the class ahead of me. Later she and her then husband, were here in town for a musical event and we met again at a post-performance party. She's *our* height, Clarice, but always had a singer's build.

The other musical genius who went to my high school (years and years ahead of me) was Spike Jones, always a inspiration.

More Obama in Presidential History?

Andrew Jackson adopted an Indian baby after killing his mother and Obama is campaigning for an Indian who's great great great grandaddy helped Andrew Jackson kill that Indian babies mother.

Blumenthal correction noted.

[Frau Indianerherz]

"an inspiration." The school legend was that someone found Spike's name carved inside a desk.

"Is everyone and thing okay Daddy?"

No Jane,

I lost about 30 minutes of beauty sleep from those damn dogs barking:(

[Jane]

Aww poor thing. Well this might put you to sleep!

[daddy]

Yay Jane!!!

[Clarice]

Frau, I looked up the school---very impressive place. I hope it hasn't declined along with most of California's better institutions.

[Captain Hate]

Jane do you put up a weekly podcast at your blog? The show sounds great.

[Janet]

The show sounds great.

You really do a good job, Jane. Such an easy rhythm....& you speak so clearly. You were by far the best speaker on Datechguy's radio program awhile ago.

[Clarice]

Doesn't Jane have a fabulous voice? So sexy.

[JeanD]

Jane, or TC or Dave:

Is Howie quitting his show? I listen regularly, and have heard him say things in passing that indicate that he is retiring sometime soon, but haven't heard anything definitive.

If he is quitting, we need a JOM movement to get WRKO to hire Jane as his replacement!

I must have listened previously when she had a cold or allergies because her voice was a lot harsher than it sounds here.

[Frau Indianerherz]

Clarice, there were 900 in my graduating class. Students were "tracked" according to projected outcomes-college-bound or not. I took two *city* buses to get to school. The neighborhood today is not what it used to be, unfortunately, and neither is the city

[Jane]

Oh dear - harsh? Moi? Never!

And yes I would love to replace Howie Carr. Anyone know anyone? I'll settle for being a guest host!

He signed a contract with WTKK 96.9 FM about 5 years ago and his current station WRKO 680 AM (Entercom) sued him claiming that they had the right to match any contract offer, and won. He's been making fun of the company and talking on-air about the day he finally gets to leave ever since. He even wears 96.9 swag while he's at work. When something isn't working right, it's "Entercom happens". The latest rumor has 101.7 FM becoming a new talk station featuring him - the station was acquired by Clear Channel yesterday.

Hey Dave,

Do you have any sources for that info? I'd like to know more.

[Dave (in MA)]

Hi Jane, I'm going by memory. Let me see...
