Common-cents choice - - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "'I really was tired of being poor,' Mr. Napolitano said in an interview this month from the Fox News studio in New York City. 'I was very young, and I had a lot of energy. ... It was a pretty banal reason for the leaving the bench.'

'Poor,' of course, is relative. On the bench in New Jersey's Superior Court, Mr. Napolitano made $100,000 a year. But compared with what lawyers who appeared in his courtroom were making or what he could have been rolling in doing other work, $100,000 was pittance."

Now this is enough to make my blood pressure spike into the red zone, near heart attack territory. His yearly salary could support a "poor" person for at least 5 years... Is "poor" being without a Mercedes or BMW? A plasma TV? A vacation home? Diamond cuff links?

What an A--hole...
