“In the old days it was just called “goin’ slumming’”.”

Indeed.I haven’t heard that phrase in a LONG time!

"Trump’s success grew out of that pain, but he is not the right response to it. The job for the rest of us is to figure out the right response."

Idiot! How can you know it is not right and yet still not know what is right.

Oh, man. Uh, Dave? Dave, buddy, take a little advice from yer old friend BtD: touring Europe with a millionaire who plays a guitar (poorly) for a living does not constitute Keepin' It Real, OK, amigo? Taking that New Definition of Masculinity act into a logger bar hereabouts will get yer sorry butt kicked by some 15-year-old Little Sister with a fake ID who really hasn't ever seen anything like you outside of that grotesque menagerie called television. This is America, Dave, and you don't belong. Good to see that you're getting a clue but it might be a little late.

We're coming for you, Dave. Had enough at last. Your snoot is cocked so high at the moment you'd drown in a rain storm, bud, and this is for your own good. Stand by, baby, we're coming.

At one point in my life, I took calls from ‘the bad guys,’ shall we say. I used to love to keep them on the phone and say, “Now, just hold on for a few more seconds...”

A while back this toff wrote a book called “Bobos in paradise” where he self described as a Bohemian Bourgeois.......it was another obnoxious pane to himself and his kind. Mostly descriptions of their weird shallow lives where he coveted his neighbors granite countertops ( I kid you not)

What a pompous and insufferable ass.

For more than 8 years now that was your job, Mr. Brooks. By November you and your colleagues should have figured out that it’s too late now to redeem the job you were meant to be doing all that time. I won’t say you’ll hear “you’re fired”. But you all are going to have to deal with the new reality.

“For more than 8 years now that was your job, Mr. Brooks.”

But have we learned anything? Much of the damage has yet to manifest.

The ultimate Bobo Bubble. You visit Europe but ignore the local culture in order to watch Springsteen concerts. It's like going to Italy and eating at McDonalds.

When you wet himself over Obama’s dry cleaner crease, you have no advice to offer working class men about their level of masculinity.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL!

Insufferable snob. This guy is just plain weird. He’s queer.
