Kamala Harris has been trying to connect with the little people, the ones in semi-flyover country who might be a little squeamish about her San Francisco liberalism.

In just one example, Harris has stated – inaccurately as it turns out – that she paid her way by working at McDonald's.

I am not exactly sure what she paid her way through, because it turns out that the fast food job was for pocket money and not to pay rent, a mortgage, student loans or tuition. It was likely for the things I used my pocket money for: makeup, magazines like Mademoiselle and Glamour that taught me how to put on makeup, and unhealthy snacks that made the makeup irrelevant.

I would venture that over 80% of boomers and Gen Xers, and maybe even millennials earned their extra cash while slinging burgers. But it's a little pretentious to put that on your resume as proof that you are a woman of the people.

Nothing wrong with it, but it follows a Kamala pattern: make yourself seem bigger than you really are.

I worked at Roy Roger's, who had better burgers by far........
