When you've climbed to the top, you can look down and brag about it. Nobody else will.

Legislation to End the Stigma
We and our arrogances are here to stay. But, the constant beating we take is completely unnecessary. Do you like having your feelings hurt? Think of how you'd feel. It's about freedom and rights.
Arrogance, conceit, hubris. Those of us who own it cherish the feel of those ego tingles. Sometimes, it's the little things... the millionaire in the mirror, the professor's autobiography on the coffee table, the gold CEO desk curio, a hundred and forty four messages on the machine. Sometimes, it's the macro-mania private jet commute; a suit and tie picture in the NYT. Sometimes, it's just a dream of it all.
And, then, there are the jealous detractors. They ruin the image. Talk about cruelty. I'll guarantee you this: a billion dollar Wall Street bonus wouldn't hurt.

I'm on your side. Actually, lots of us are.
May I offer you some gold-card health care? Someone else is paying for it.
How about the new hate crime bill that just got passed? Will it indict people who hate arrogant people?
