$400 haircut and reality

I have not been posting regularly, so sorry about that... Anyway I just wanted to post a quick bit about the $400 dollar haircut and John Edwards. First, let me say I like Edwards and I am still considering voting for him in the primary (right now it is between Obama and Edwards). Secondly, let me say that this was a boneheaded move by his campaign. For those of you working on campaigns, always, always have your own op-research people comb through your disclosure.

With that out of the way, let me get to what I really want to say. People that are running for president are not like you and I... They are the "elites". When I say elites, I don't use it as a derogatory statement. I want the smartest people available to run for president. Can we quit pretending that Presidential candidates live lives that approximate even remotely to the average American. They are by definition not average and they should not be... In the interest of fairness, this goes for Rudy G. as well. So, he doesn't know what a gallon of milk costs. I don't either and buy milk every week. I hate to break it to everyone, but no one running for president has bought milk or bread at a grocery store recently. OK, now lets move on to something important. I like this take on it from Bill Maher.
