sign of the times

A backup catcher for the Oakland A's, a guy who hit under .200 last year, can make half a MILLION dollars. A handful of Senators (!) -- each making six figures -- can toy with the fate of entire companies, affecting MILLIONS of U.S. workers and their families, for political reasons only! I can think of a lot of words other than HIGHpocrisy for how whacked this country is; most start with the same 4 letters.
