That Joel Stein Thing

I know I'm late to talk about this, and with everyone else putting in thier opinion, I was tempted to just forget about it, since I probably don't have a whole helluva lot to add to the commentary.

But then, I went back and read his stupid article again.

The guy admits he is a rich kid who 'did well in school'. Is that an indication that he thinks people in the military did *not* do well in school? Or is he just bragging that he lives the American Dream and doesn't owe the country anything for it? Heck, he even brags that he has never had jury duty.

I dunno. The guy is a jerk - I read some of his past columns, and he appears to be terribly wrapped up in the superficial silliness of so many Southern Californians. He wants to be popular with the "stars", I suspect.

He is right, though, he does not care about or support the troops. He cares about himself. He insults all of us who have ever served in the US Military.

Perhaps it is the attitude of columnists like Joel that have caused the LA Times to lose money and circulation.
