Your post sounded pretty snarky to me. What was your point?

Just pointing out a bit of American anti-intellectualism. I'm sure the
Palin kids will do all they can with the intellectual gifts and
appreciation of education they have inherited. They cannot be faulted
for their parents.

That gets back to your eastern elitism. You assume everyone wants to
be a hedge fund manager or college professor. There are plenty of
people who just want to get a job and make an honest living. My wife
pays her hairdresser about $80 an hour to get her hair done (in
Fumbuck Florida). That is cash in the woman's home. It is not a bad
living.

Why do you feel obligated to say that is a bad thing?

I do think you may still have a little crush on Sarah Palin. You
certainly seem to follow every tiny detail of what is going on in that
family.

Actually, I don't know why anyone would want to be a hedge fund manager,
but I certainly admire those who do a good job in the teaching professions.

As I stated, I do not fault the Palin kids for their lack of academic or
intellectual achievement. I pay $16 monthly for a haircut, and give the
haircutter a $10 tip in cash. I think my wife pays about what yours does
every three weeks. It's not a bad thing.

My interest in Sarah Palin is in her ability to rev up the GOP base with
demagoguery.
