What On Earth Could Chelsea Say

Capitalism is high on my priority list. As Calvin Coolidge once said, "The business of America is business". I like that. Everyone should have the opportunity to achieve greatness through the skills God gave them. Finis.

In 2014 the University of Missouri-Kansas City wanted Hillary to speak. It would be a ten minute talk, followed by a twenty minute Q&A. After this Hillary would tour the school for a half hour. All well and good until the presidential candidate quoted her fee of $275,000 large.

Gulp! As badly as UMKC wanted her majesty to speak they couldn't come up with the funds. So, why not get the next best thing available. An invite went out to Chelsea to take mommy's place. The format would be the same but the princess would have to accept the offer of $65,000----and she did.

You've heard the old saying, "You pay for what you get". My question is, "What did they get"?

Most of us know Chelsea was awarded a $600,000 contract by NBC to be their roving reporter on puff pieces. I mean, how bad can it be when she had to interview the Geiko mascot? Lucky for her she was abruptly dropped from the network and replaced by one of the Bush girls who has done a magnificent job. Chelsea can stay in her $10 million dollar NY penthouse doing nothing while collecting her cash.

So, here's a girl in her mid-thirties who was asked to speak at a university to say 'nothing'. I could do this and, humbly speaking, do a much better job. I've been around, seen things, done things, interacted with the lower, middle and upper classes and, in general, have much to impart. As an example, I know how to catch, clean and cook a Bullhead fish. Can Chelsea do this? It's highly doubtful.
And for all this I earned $28,000 as a high school teacher and coach.

As far as I can tell Chelsea has three accomplishments to her name: she attended Stanford, gave birth to a baby and was able to survive a faux marriage put forth by her parents. Who knows, maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all.
