The confusing thing about the word "intelligentsia" is that it sounds like it has something to do with intelligence (the being smart kind, not the military information kind). It doesn't. Readers who don't already understand this will after they finish "Intellectual Morons."

OK..
"The intelligent are to the intelligentsia as David Douglas Duncan is to the paparazzi."
You'll have to google it.

The intelligent are to the intelligentsia as Shostakovich is to the Dixie Chicks.

Whenever I read about the "intelligentsia" I'm reminded of the story of The Emperor's New Clothes".

"The unlikely careers and even less likely ideas of Michel Foucault, Herbert Marcuse, Jacques Derrida, Stanley Fish, and Peter Singer -- theory-besotted humbugs who have done the most to make the current campus atmosphere both intellectually incoherent and morally repellant -- get the full Flynn treatment."
So true. I am glad someone is giving these people the treatment.

Paul Johnson's "Intellectuals" is also a wonderful book on this subject.

Looks like a handy "Who's Who" of The Ususal Suspects, but it always helps greatly to confine the lunatics to one wing of the nut house. :)

A fellow Freeper used to run a tagline which said "Intellectuals don't exist unless you want them to." I agree. (And a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all.)
