I have finally figured it out! I took a chance and read some of Arianna Huffington's new celebrity blog, "Huffington Report" yesterday - and it occured to me WHY liberals in Hollywood and D.C. are so CLUELESS. I'm a good person. I have solar panels on my house and I just bought a hybrid Prius. I care about the environment and I worry when I see pretty seagulls covered in oil or some other environmental disaster. So I do what I can. But I have a life to live and REAL-LIFE worries to deal with, and sometimes, yes sometimes, I don't necessarily have the financial means NOT to worry about day-to-day things. For example: Yes, I worry that the two-toed leopard frog may lose its mating zone, however, this worry doesn't consume my life. I also have to find MONEY to pay for my son's summer camp - which may be selfish - BUT - it's my job and it's FAR MORE IMPORTANT TO ME. It dawned on me yesterday that when someone becomes famous and gets ridiculously wealthy - they believe they've become ENLIGHTENED. Well, not really. You've just been given the luxury of FINANCIAL FREEDOM - which frees you up so you can PAY people to agree with you, PAY someone to cook for you, PAY someone to be your 'handler' and PAY attention to things that don't matter to Red State America - like that damn two-toed leopard frog. See - we're too busy living our lives - slogging through (happily I might add) and that's about the ONLY thing you have over us - MONEY = TIME. You have TIME to worry about what you're wearing or mating habit of gay pengiuns. WE, on the other hand, have NO TIME to give a crap about that - we're too busy being the backbone of AMERICA. You know us? Right? The 'dumb' Americans that try to FORGET all your bellowing so we can still laugh at the movies and forget our troubles for an hour and a half. We're the stupid Americans that say 'hi' when we see you, or come to your talk show and scream because you're there. Yep, that's us. Dumb old Red State America. You remember us - we PAY YOUR BILLS! Yes, it's true - now that you don't need to decide between paying the Cable Bill this month or the Electric Bill - it frees you up to worry about IMPORTANT THINGS, those of us dumb Americans aren't enlightened enough to care about. Yes, YES, it worries me that it takes 20 minks to make a Mink coat - I mean afterall, you would think with advances in science and technology - they would be able to make 20 MINK COATS from 20 MINKS by now! And what just leaves me BREATHLESS is there are starving children in the world. Indeed - that sucks. But guess what? I can't really worry about ALL OF THEM because I have to WORRY ABOUT FEEDING MY OWN CHILD FIRST! SELFISH? Perhaps, but it's my JOB - one that I don't get paid for. Sure - I've probably done more in ONE YEAR to support our troops (by actually SUPPORTING THEM) than you have - and I've sent more pairs of shoes to Afghanistan and Iraq than YOU HAVE - but I guess that doesn't COUNT in the world of enlightenment. Having the luxury of TIME because you have so much MONEY isn't always healthy. I mean, I'm sitting here typing on my computer and I'm not even WORRIED that McChimpBushHitler is gonna get me! Am I brave? Am I just a dumb red-stater? OR - am I smarter than you and you just can't see it from the ridiculous heights of arrogance from which you sit? Hmmm. I bet readers of this blog know the answer.

That's easy. You're braver and smarter.
