My late husband was career government, a very, very low-level clerk. There were probably a couple of thousand people scattered across the country performing the precise function that he did. Zero policymaking influence. But for over 25 years until he retired *neither one of us* ever displayed as much as a campaign bumper sticker. When a grateful citizen tried to give us a Thanksgiving turkey, my husband turned it down.

I can't even with these two "justices" and their spouses and their island vacations and those damn flags.

@Tarheel My Mom was a letter carrier and “window clerk” for the post office. The subject of these “justices” makes her mad as hell.

@Tarheel *nods furiously in former Fed*

I still remember when we had some local government people over to our office as potential clients and they declined coffee from our kitchen.
