Cambridge Liberals Get Expensive

The Boston Herald reports:

Could it be that the problem with Cambridge is that liberals are just too darn smart?
I know liberals are smart because they constantly tell me so. Unlike, say, conservative Christians - described by the Washington Post as “poor, uneducated and easy to command” - Massachusetts liberals are brilliant, intellectual and competent.
Don’t believe it? Just ask them.
When a 2005 study found that 72 percent of professors at U.S. universities consider themselves “liberals,” some suggested an anti-conservative bias on campus.
Nonsense, replied liberals like Harvard professor Julie Reuben.
She told the Harvard Crimson that it was simply natural for the well-educated to lean to the left.
Harvard: Too Smart For Diversity!
But if you liberals are so smart, why do you do so many things that are so, well, dumb?
I’m not just talking about the big, embarrassing stuff like supporting the Soviet Union and getting modern economic policy entirely wrong. I mean the basics, like “Don’t pay the electrician $100,000 to change the light bulbs.”
As the Boston Herald reported yesterday, the city of Cambridge (“Gateway to Stalingrad”) has more than 180 government employees taking home $100,000 or more in tax dollars each year - including the $104,000 municipal electrician.
Overseeing this gaggle of overpaid government sycophants is a deputy city manager ($201,000 per year), a city manager ($245,000) and the highest-paid part-time mayor in America, Ken Reeves, at $92,000 plus a $40,000 annual travel budget.

Who ever said government workers were unpaid?
