Thursday Morning Jane

Good morning, Janes!  If you go to your parents’ house to tell them you might starve if they don’t give you money, do you arrive drive in a chauffeur-driven limousine, or do you take the city bus and make sure your parents see your transfer ticket?
The answer is obvious to the Janes (perhaps well versed [...]

We digress….

Bonjour, Carla Bruni!  

Wednesday Morning Jane

Good morning, Janes!  One of our favorite D.C. Janes, Anne Schroeder at Politico, is keeping tabs on Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, a Colorado congresswoman who lost her reelection in November, but has yet to call her opponent to concede the race.

Tuesday Morning Jane

So here’s to the service members [...]
