Seriously??

Isn't this a beautiful shot?  I mean the people who get to work in this building are supposed to be some of the smartest folks in the country, or at least that's what we're supposed to believe.  I know I'm not the smartest kid in the room.  I've never been accused of it and I've never believed it, but I do have an uncanny ability to spot the ones who are.  Let's talk about that and see if any members of Congress make the list.

1. The Limbaugh boys.  Gotta give David the nod here.  I've read both brothers books and I need a thesaurus to get through David's.  Also, his level of sarcasm is up there, so he qualifies as one of the SKITR.

2.  All the Fox news anchors.  Sorry kids, but I can't in good faith give any of y'all the SKITR label.  Hannity's up there, but alas, he sits in the middle with those of us who aren't SKITR's but also aren't the morons who work in the above building.

3.  Members of the US Senate.  Fiscal Cliff vote was 89-8.  Enough said.

4.  Members of the House of Representatives.  Too be determined, but it isn't looking good.  Somebody get Boehner another cigarrette!

5.  Ann Coulter.  This one's tough.  Without a doubt she's one of the SKITR, but sometimes she says stuff that brings her back to the middle with us.  I still give her the nod though because she's the only person I've ever seen or heard who has less of a filter than I do.

6.  Hillary Clinton.  I may take some heat for this, but she is definitely on the the SKITR.  I submit her track record for review.  You may disagree with most of her ideas (which I do), but you know where she stands and what she believes.  One of the things on my list of things to do before I die is to drink a beer with Hillary.  If anyone reading this knows her, I'm a Michelob Ultra kind of girl.

7.  Leighanne Arthur.  While unknown to most, she is a SKITR.  More than that though, she's my person. 

8.  Rick Perry.  Just kidding.  I'm not going there!

9.  Tom Landry.  He invented the 4-3 defense.  For that alone he qualifies as a SKITR.

I could go on, but, hopefully, you get my point.  SKITRs don't have to tell anyone what they are or what they think.  Usually, what they think is above most of us.  However, that doesn't mean we don't understand the world around us and what's going on in it.  Billions in aid being sent overseas while we're trying to fund a hurricane relief bill and avoid a cliff.  It doesn't take a SKITR to know something is seriously wrong.
