CNN correspondent wants to remind average Americans they don't make the coin she makes.

Tonight on CNN--covering the New Hampshire presidential primary which I'm watching because I'm a weak-willed masochist, let's just admit it--correspondent Gloria Borger analyzed the results of Republican candidates.

Ron Paul came in second place overall, and second place amongst people who make $30-50K a year.

Gloria Borger wanted viewers to know that Ron Paul is appealing to college students, and college students make that much money. "They don't make very much," she mused.

$50K for a college student? Which college students are these? Someone selling their eggs? Someone with Rich Uncle Pennybags for a relative? Are they Bill Gates's homely lovechild?

Heads-up, Gloria. Those people who "don't make very much" in America are average Americans. Median household income in 2010: $49,445. That's household. As in everyone working who lives within the same house, added up, and ta-dah! We're all pretty damn poor!

Which is to say, Gloria Borger thinks no matter how old and poor you become, you're a college student.



If my political opinions were a food, they'd be shredded wheat. Not even the frosted shredded wheat either. Just that nasty, no-salt, no-sugar, rectal taste of shredded wheat.

Which is to say my political opinions shouldn't be digested, and odds are I'm not voting for the same suit you will.
