So out of touch... They just don't get it.

I read an article in the paper this morning that called my attention to how newspapers (in this case headline writers) don't understand th underlying principles of fiscal conservatives. I wanted to share this on my little blog, so I dutifully went to the newspapers web site to link the article, but something struck me. While the article is the same, the headline is quite different. Here's a link to the online version:

Rep. Cohen serves up pork for Memphis; suburbs not so lucky

While it does convey the skewed perspective that having a porker representative that feeds at the trough of most paying subscribers taxpayers, it's not as skewed as the printed version that got me riled up:

As you can see, the lack of "luck" on the part of our elected representatives has morphed into "failure"

Whatever the case, I applaud my representative, Marsha Blackburn and others in the GOP caucus who have eschewed pork and politics as usual. It's unfortuante that it takes getting drubbed at the polls and run out of power to find your inner fiscal conservative.
