Liberal tendencies: a tongue-in-cheek look at the logic of liberal positions and the manipulations of liberal passions.(HUMOR)
"I hate my job!" wailed my friend Forrest for about the thousandth time in 20 minutes while we were celebrating last New Year's Eve. "I'm sick of working at the mercantile exchange--an hour train ride there in the morning, an hour train ride back at night. And I barely cracked the $150 thousand mark last year ... pathetic."
"You hardly cracked what salary amount?" I gasped.
"$150,000, and I've been working there going on six years," he said with a sigh.
"That's just a little above my teacher's salary," I replied, managing somehow to hold back the sudden desire I had to knock him senseless with the giant caramel nut roll that I had in my hand and empty his wallet. I added, "The only way someone can switch careers and still make that much money without first putting in some time and paying some dues is to open a bar in Wisconsin or become a politician."
"That's it!" he shouted. "I'll go into politics."
"But you don't know anything about economics or history or the Constitution," I said, pointing out a little flaw in his plan.
"So I'll become a liberal politician--no problem," he said.
