Sending consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren to the Senate is one of the recent great things that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has done. Here’s an example of why.

About show them what you're worth
Yet another Glee-centric Tumblr,
celebrating a show that
lauds the losers,
upholds the underdogs,
and proves that
improbable pairings
are not only possible,
but applause-producing!
And that, most of all,
sends the message
that struggling to transcend
the stifling labels
that constrict high school life
(and, sometimes, all life)
in order to be your true self
is the most important lesson you'll ever learn.
"You don’t have to feel
Like a waste of space
You’re original
Cannot be replaced
If you only knew
What the future holds
After a hurricane
Comes a rainbow
Maybe the reason why
All the doors are closed
So you could open one
That leads you to
the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt
Your heart will glow
And when it’s time you know
You just gotta
Ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on
show them what you’re worth
Make them go, “Oh, oh, oh”
As you shoot across the sky"

Largely a spoiler-free site.
That means that I will not post information that hasn't already been made "officially" public in some way above a cut. I WILL post info from official promos, from released song previews, from interviews with the cast & crew, and Glee-sanctioned spoilers such as the tid-bits they give to online media sites like E!Online and TVLine.com. I'll also post teasing tweets or info from the social media sites of cast, writer, & crew members so long as the information DOESN'T spoil details or refer to previously unmentioned-in-the-media story lines or scenes. I won't post spoilers from on-set "sources," whether regular or semi-regular glee actors/crew or from extras, that are known for spoiling. I've had too much of Glee's awesomeness diminished by spoilers in the past, and am trying to stay away from them as best as I can.
FYI: I post from the East Coast of the United States; once something has aired on TV here, I will go ahead and post about it/mention it, so if you are in a later time zone/get your Glee later, you might want to avoid my site until you've seen the episode yourself.

WASHINGTON — A clip of Massachusetts freshman Sen. Elizabeth Warren posing a simple question to bank regulators this past week has been viewed more than 1 million times, putting it on pace to become the consumer advocate’s most-viral video hit to-date.
Three separate clips of the back-and-forth on YouTube combine for over 900,000 views, and a clip by HuffPost, which was the first to report on the exchange, has generated well over 200,000 views. It was Warren’s first foray on the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.
The question that flummoxed the bank regulators: When was the last time you took a Wall Street bank to trial?
Heartbreaking hilarity ensued:
Warren asked if any of the other regulators, representing the FDIC, SEC, OCC, CFTC, Fed, Treasury and the newly minted Consumer Financial Protection Board, could answer the question. None could.
“There are district attorneys and United States attorneys out there every day squeezing ordinary citizens on sometimes very thin grounds and taking them to trial in order to make an example, as they put it. I’m really concerned that ‘too big to fail’ has become ‘too big for trial,’” Warren told them in what appeared to be a reference to a Warren constituent, open-Internet activist Aaron Swartz, who recently committed suicide after being hounded by federal prosecutors who reportedly said they wanted to make an example of him. Warren had met and said she admired Swartz. After he died, she expressed her concern by attending his memorial in Washington.
Wall Street responded angrily to Warren’s questioning, denouncing the senator and suggesting that she would lose “credibility” if she continued interrogating regulators in such a way.
The financial regulators can blame, at least in part, those very same angry Wall Street lobbyists (along with outgoing Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Senate Republicans) for their embarrassing turn at the hearing. Warren would have been on the panel herself representing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, instead of a sitting senator, if her nomination to head the agency hadn’t been thwarted in 2011.
Before her exchange with the regulators, Warren’s previous top Internet hit was a clip of her articulating the social contract, arguing that nobody has gotten rich on their own. President Obama later picked up the theme during the campaign, which devolved into the GOP rallying cry of “You didn’t build that.”
