Every once in a while...

...some rich clown writes in the Wall Street Journal that he'd rather be "on the dole." And I always think to myself, really? Not me; I'd rather be rich. Wouldn't you?

Now Jim Webb, Democratic senator from Virginia, writes in the Journal about the "myth of white privilege." Myth? Really?

If you're a white male, born in the latter half of the twentieth century in America -- like me -- then you won the sperm lottery. Congratulations! You are among the luckiest and --yes -- privileged group in the history of the planet. Do you really think it would have been preferable to have been born a woman or a member of a minority group? As Jerry Seinfeld would say, really?
