Nothing steams me like “the haves” telling the rest of us that we are all in the same boat.  First and foremost I CAN”T IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO AFFORD A BOAT!  If you are going to pick a metaphor at least pick one that doesn’t immediately tell me you are absolutely out of touch with the world of the common people.

How about this…”we are all pushing the same grocery cart!” (although of course you don’t shop for yourself) or “we all have to hit the 3-2 pitch that’s close to the strike zone.”  (despite the fact you wouldn’t dream of being involved in a game with that many brown people)

But a boat?  Really?
