The Best Have Better Things To Do

 I watched some interview of Senator Fetterman (D-Penn) in the past two weeks, and he hyped on.....'the best and brightest are not going to DC to represent people'.

I paused over it and it's been on my mind for a while.

Yeah, to be honest....if I were a successful farmer, trucker, tire-sales guy, bartender, real estate salesman, or mechanic....there's better things to do in life than go be a Senator in DC.

But my negativity goes beyond that.

You'd have to dress up and look fake-successful...meaning a full-up suit (figure $300 minimum) and $300 shoes (the nice fitting type).  

You'd have to practice over and over....to make as few comments as possible....to avoid looking stupid.

You'd have to avoid whiskey and booze, or getting into drunken commentary.

You'd have to show common sense and wisdom....around the clock.

You'd have to avoid farting in elevators.

You'd have to treat half-witted reporters at least in respectful way.

You'd have to at least keep your trophy-half-witted wife in a happy situation, so she doesn't run off with the tennis-trainer.

There's just a lot of hassle involved.

So the better, smarter, and more thoughtful folks have better things in life to do....than wasting six to twelve years in DC.
