No suprise that the Globe hasn't picked up on one of the many curious questions about Elizabeth Warren's life: Where is her son, Alex, and why does Warren so blatantly favor her daughter, Amelia, over him? Amelia Warren Tyagi is credited as "co-author" on two of Warren's books. Check the acknowledgments section of these two books and you'll see that Warren's son, Alex, is credited with creating the databases used to compile and analyze the data on which the books were based. Sounds like a rather substantial contribution to the projects. Yet Alex didn't get a co-author credit; Amelia did. Moreover, in addition to being listed as co-author, Amelia is identified throughout the book as Warren's daughter. Her son Alex? He's mentioned as a "colleague." Ouch! Despite what the Globe would have readers believe, Amelia Warren Tyagi has been front and center in her mother's campaign. (The photo from the Democratic Convention confirms it.) But where, oh where is Alex Warren? What does he do for a living? And why isn't he more involved in Mom's campaign? Is the campaign keeping him under wraps for some reason? Is it because the databases he created were roundly criticized as being flawed by other academics, leading to charges against Warren of "scientific misconduct?" Does he harbor some horrible secret (like, perhaps, being--gasp!--a Republican)? Or is he simply still mad at Mom for labeling him a "colleague"? No doubt if the Globe has its way, we'll never know...

How is any of this even relevant to how Elizabeth Warren might serve as Senator. I could write a long and rambling response about how much is missing from Scott Brown's life story, how much is inconsistent about what he has told. His law school years in which he nearly flunked out, his law career utterly undistinguished in any way. Last but not least, how an obscure Republican Senator who happens to take a script well and looks really pretty could have come to the attention of the Koch Brothers. But that would be pointless as is your post.

It would be very interesting if Scott Brown could tell us what he has done for the Commonwealth, the people who will vote in this election. I think the people of Worcester and New Bedford would love for him to debate in their cities, on their issues too. The obvious truth is that he can't. He has nothing reasonable to say. Whatever your political views, he has done nothing for anyone. So he makes up the silly stuff.

Elizabeth Warren has on many occasions drawn her daughter into this campaign while her son has remained conspicuously absent and ignored. Warren refers to Amelia often on the campaign trail. She brought her onstage with her at the Democratic convention. And now her daughter's far-left liberal organization -- which claims to campaign for "a more equitable economy" from offices on Fifth Avenue in NYC -- has injected itself into this race. Prof. Warren has made her family fair game, and I for one, find it odd that a candidate with TWO children focuses so much attention on just one of her kids while her other child is utterly ignored. I also think it speaks volumes about a candidate's character as to what kind of parent he/she is. And frankly Warren's record on this is pretty poor. Her own daughter says her mother dragged her across the country kicking and screaming, moving 9 times to further her career. Amelia recalls the UPenn Law Faculty staff mocking her at a public show, saying that Elizabeth Warren needed to use a seating chart in order to remember her own kids' names. In reality, Amelia says, her mother used napkin rings with her children's names on them. (Because it's so hard to remember all two of your kids' names.) Amelia Warren even summed up her mother's parenting skills thusly: "If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger." Simply put, Elizabeth Warren is not the "Aw, shucks" earth mother folk hero the left would make her out to be. She is a brazenly ambitious woman who lied about her ethnicity to advance her career at the expense of her children (one of whom she never mentions and seems to have dropped off the planet.) If Warren's own children took second place to her career, why should voters believe they would fare better?
