YOU JUST CAN'T PUT TWO KIDS THROUGH COLLEGE ON $175,000 PER YEAR

Remember when George H.W. Bush revealed during the 1992 presidential race that he didn't know the price of a gallon of milk? (I wonder if his son has a clue that it's gone WAY WAY UP lately--) It was the eye-opener for many that the man was just plain out of touch with the lives of ordinary Americans.

The rumor about Tom Ridge leaving his post at Homeland Security because he "needs to make more money to put his two teenagers through college" strikes me as a similar moment. Gee, no wonder the Republicans are so desperate for those tax cuts for the wealthy -- they've got to put their kids through school, poor dears, and they need that extra money to do it!

Wonder how they'd like to try putting five kids through on half that salary...

Or a quarter...
