I Smell Hypocrisy
Isn’t it lovely when the stench is so strong and obvious?
Heather Mills McCartney, who is reportedly seeking millions of dollars in her breakup with Paul McCartney, denounced the world’s rich as misers and snobs Wednesday. …
Mills McCartney said she was reluctantly obliged to befriend the world’s wealthy because that was the only way to maximize her power as an agent for change.
“Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good,” she said. “Because people are very snobby. These people who have lots of money, they’re either snobby or they’re stingy. If you have lots of money, you have to be stingy — because why would you want that amount of money?” …
Paul McCartney’s personal wealth is estimated at $1.6 billion. British press reports have speculated that McCartney has offered his wife around $50 million, while she is seeking at least double that amount. (Emphasis mine.)
See, she’s not greedy, snobby or stingy. And she only wants that amount of money so she can play Robin Hood. Somehow, if she is handed $100 million, I don’t see her giving away all that she would say others should. Oh, but in a completely selfless act, she talks about how “leaders” like her have been viewed through the ages.
She also compared herself to human rights crusaders down through the ages, suggesting they all had been victimized for their beliefs.
“If you look at every single person in the history of the world who has tried to make a difference, you’ll find a very long section of their lives where they were treated horrifically by the government or by the media,” she said.

Heh, asks $100 million and still crying personal poverty and an anti-`wealth` position. Snorting or injecting?
— OFF TOPIC — LIke the new format. Especially two things: date on each post (OK, not new, but a LOT of blogs do not do this and I do not like it) and putting the comment link at the bottom, where it belongs in order that you may decide whether or not to speak up AFTER you know (or should..) what the post is about.
Good to know! It’s actually a very different theme, but I went through and replaced every damn circle with a snowflake to make it. So I can use another modified version the rest of the year.
