A Word About Robin

As I prepared dinner this evening, I was listening to the Michael Savage show.  The news-talk radio station that I regularly listen to finally put him on earlier in the evening and I can listen more often.  He is perhaps one of the most interesting hosts on the air.  This evening I tuned in and heard a discussion about Obama being described as a Robin Hood type figure who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.

This characterization drives me nuts. 

Glenn Beck’s Common Sense

As I listened to  his program last week, Glenn and Stu were discussing, Glenn Beck’s Common Sense.  One thing that they were discussing grabbed me; our congressmen earn more than 95% of ALL American families.  In addition to the nice salary, they also provide themselves with such necessities as subsidized gym memberships, free parking in Washington, and even their own cafeterias.  These cafeterias are exclusive meaning you or I cannot eat there even though we are paying for it.  It is interesting that their salary always falls beneath any demagogued “rich” salary.
