Arrogance

Does anything represent the height of arrogance more than gerrymandering? Nothing says "I don't get it" more than ensuring safe seats for re-election. I guess politicians really don't get it. Their predictable and contemptible gerrymandering ensures that people and parties get to keep their power in "safe" districts. Both democrats and republicans are equally guilty in this nefarious practice. Political party before country...that is the message they send to us. Other than taking my money and wasting it, nothing chaps my butt more than this practice of picking voters to ensure political party representation.

Speaking of arrogance in government, do the boys and girls in congress feel that they have everything under control? All of the big problems solved so they can worry about whether or not Rodger Clemens used HGH? I am so glad that the war on terror is won, government waste is under control, and the policies are in place for a vibrant economy over the long term. HGH in major league baseball has been keeping us all awake at night, so thankfully the brainless meddler-in-chief Henry Waxman can now devote his full attention to this national crisis. Do these guys ever wonder why Americans think that Congress is such a joke? It is really not hard to figure out.

Why is athletic performance treated differently than mental performance? No one balks about star athletes earning millions and millions of dollars each year. However, smart people who work hard are regularly tossed under the bus as greedy and not deserving their annual earnings? Why is this the case? Why do the democrats in Washington want to punish those who achieve in the business world? If I am smarter and work harder than the average Joe and earn more than the average Joe, why does average Joe deserve my income in the form of government handouts?
