My Oh My, and I’m not talking baseball (esp. this year)

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer runs an opinion column that actually has this bit of nonsense in it… I always thought you had to have some sort of edumacashion to write for them big city newspapers…

“…This weekend in my own neighborhood I observed one guy driving a Maserati with his top down. I counted three Hummers and I spied one couple pulling a powerboat behind a Cadillac Escalade. Far as I can tell, if Americans had any common sense, such behavior would have been banned years ago. Either that, or taxed into oblivion…”

Gosh! He had his top down! Personally I don’t care if they are pulling a Cadillac Escalade behind their powerboat… Isn’t this supposed to be a free country?? Do I have to trade in my decrepit Ford Explorer for a motor scooter? It’s got so many miles on it, it’s more of a science project than a truck nowadays… Would than earn me points in her snooty court of public opinion?

P.S. Here’s a link to the PI article in case you think I am making this nonsense up to stir the pot. Turns out she is syndicated out of Washington, D.C. - Has a show called “To the Contrary” - So this must be a big phony shtick like that Dr. Laura. That figures. Back in the day us common people would run her out of town, but hardly anyone has pitchforks handy anymore.
