I've been watching the White House's Correspondents Dinner coverage on MSNBC and it suddenly dawned on me.
You can blame the History Channel's Vikings for stirring an interest in Medieval History but when I look at all the celebrities and the correspondents assembled, it became obvious that all we're seeing is a modern day Medieval Banquet.
Instead of the King, Knights and Nobleman gathered together to celebrate a certain event we have the President, News People, Rich Businessmen, Actors and Actresses and others that consider themselves the "elite" assembled for fun and festivities.
We're all peasants.
When viewed in that light everything makes sense.
We are the unwashed masses. Our interests no longer matter. The modern day Oligarchy is here....much like the old Aristocracy but with a twist. Birth is irrelevant. Money is. Welcome to the new America.
