View from below stinks

Has anyone else noticed that every time the paper runs a story that involves one of our illustrious leaders, they're always on vacation and unavailable for comment?

Every time I read that I can't help but feel that it should have read: "Simian Entrepreneurial Director and Chief-Idiot-in-Charge Mr. or Mrs. So-in-So, who thinks of nobody but themselves, is out to lunch, out of touch and couldn't care less to comment anyway."

I know they need their rest, but come on. Too many good citizens are being taxed out of their homes. What's more important here: The monkey at the top of the tree looking down at all our little faces, or the little guys having to see the furry guy's backside all the time?

Seems everything smells different at the top where the fresh breeze blows. Things down here smell a little different!
