Fred Soars Again

Fred ( http://www.fredoneverything.net/index.html ) hits the nail on the head again.

In his latest entry, he comments on the people running this county and how they have no clue about the country itself, or it's people, or the world we all live in.

He says:
It bothers me to have policy made, and wars started, by those who have never seen the country they rule, or the world they play with, who have never had to make a living, to carry a rifle or worry about snipers, who have never run the back alleys of Taipei or anywhere else and, god help us, can’t serve their own potatoes.
He--of course-- refers to the likes of George the Younger, Rumsfeld, Pearle, Rice... all the other clueless rich or overeducated fools that got us into these diststerous messes we are currently trying to extricate ourselves from.

Sorry, I inadvertently included George the Younger on that list. He--without a doubt-- does not suffer from the effects of over-education.

You need to read his piece to understand the potatoes part, even if it does expose an embarrassingly disgusting aspect about the lifestyles of the rich and clueless.
