Alison, Steve Boriss: My post was meant to be somewhere between sarcasm and tragic irony. Here are a few more self-evident truths: If Harry Reid is a Mormon that is his own business and the prior prejudiced beliefs of the Mormon faith have no bearing on his duties as Majority Leader of the Senate. If Mitt Romney (or any other Republican Mormon) runs for public office, the past beliefs of the Mormons deserve to be examined in excruciating detail. If a utility infielder, second rate newscaster, or third tier comedian makes ten or twenty times more than his peer in the fifties, that is the free market in action. If a corporate executive, acting from the same wellspring of greed and opportunity, overfeeds at the trough, that is an example of why the markets need regulating. Some say hypocrisy, but really they are self evident truths.
