I have decided to blog here because a blog about hypocrisy will never run out of material. You might think otherwise. You might say, “Well, Snark, I manage to survive without saying one thing and doing the exact opposite, most days, why can’t the politicians?”

I hear you. We all lie a little. People cheat and do the things they have to do, even when they’re not proud of it. You do it and I do it. We have ever since the day we made goo goo eyes at momma and poured a little more affection into it than we strictly felt because we were five months old, we were real hungry, and it worked.

But, as a general rule, your regular Kate and Chris are straight shooters more often than not, and they say what they mean, when they can get away with it, because what they’re shooting for is regular, normal and healthy. They aren’t hypocrites because they don’t have “the disease.”

Here’s the thing you must never forget, kiddies. Remember this, if nothing else. Hypocrisy is not the disease. It’s the symptom.

Ambition is the disease.
