âŚbut if you start an article with âIf Janet Yellenâs neighborhood were the location for the next season of âSurvivor,â some of her neighbors would be clamoring to swiftly vote her out of their gated community.â you might be confused - this isnât a middle school paper for your current events class.

I really do feel for these people. Must be so hard to be them when there are so many of us just outside their little domestic paradise.

Her neighbors need to create some more jobs so they can move to a really exclusive 'hood. Obviously not nearly wealthy enough if they have this kind of rif-raf around.

Bob MuellerâŚhad people who were businesslike, didnât socialize and waited for him outside the gate," the resident, who asked to remain nameless because she feared government reprisalsâŚ
Yes, those sufficiently obsequious gentlemen in Muellerâs detail, who surely donât have a âdoughnut bellyâ among them or stupid blue uniforms or visible guns (how gauche!), wait outside the gate, which is so much more secure than being within a 1/4 mile of the protectee. Guess which neighbor would be screaming bloody murder if there were an attack in her neighborhood? Then sheâd be all, âOMG!! This was so predictable! Why was Yellen so careless as to put us in danger?!! Why werenât her people right on the premises?!! Why didnât they know?!! Itâs all her fault for being a target, and anyway, I was trying to watch Duck Dynasty. Good thing I have DVR. And sheâs a Democrat, so that explains the whole problem!â
While Ms. Motormouth may think her comments are anonymous, Iâm pretty sure everyone in the neighborhood knows whoâs being quoted.

âVery intelligent and articulate and expressive people live in neighborhoods like ours, and I think sometimes they over-articulate and over-express,â

The FBI director may have to worry about foreign terrorists, but how many of the domestic stripe want to abolish the Federal Reserve?

Is this the kind of hard questions and investigative reporting we have come to expect from our national media or is it just part of the coloring book of rules for News Corp companies?
And some might plan to do it with extreme prejudice.
Theyâre upset that some pizza eating overweight guys show up in their neighborhood? Did they pass some law against overweight men? Iâm sure this âhighway beautificationâ act of outlawing overweight men will go over big with the rest of the D.C. types.

At the very least, we have an answer to the perennial question, âQuis custodiet ipsos custodes?â
Thereâs probably someone on her staff right now wishing that they didnât have too much integrity to foreclose on every one of the jerkwadsâ mortgages. (And yes, I know enough about the Fed to know they couldnât do it directly.)
Just goes to show you can be in the upper class & still lack actual class.

Yeah but it coincides with middle school reasons for hating Yellenâs security.
Pizza, doughnuts and fat bellies are disgusting. Oh wait, we need something with teeth! Like, like, those cameras might be pointed at us!
