Watch out for the robber barons

So today I spent a part of my afternoon listening to the House of Delegates in action. D. sent me a link that you can watch live during session and we had fun sending Dad e-mails and watching his reaction from the floor. We're nerds.

But the thing that got me was when one of the delegates stood up and gave an impassioned speech about something. I wasn't entirely sure of the topic but he pretty much called everyone in the gallery "robber barons." This was followed by a loud chorus of "oohs" mocking him. Pretty hilarious.

But I had to look it up so in case you're wondering Webster's defines robber baron as "a business owner or executive who acquires wealth through ethically questionable tactics."

I hope you win Jeopardy! with that one day.
