I am a recent graduate of Claremont McKenna College in Claremont (not that low class Montclare) where I studied the Classics and PPEE (Pomposity, Punditry, Excess, and Egocentricity). Currently I am traipsing around Europe from where I am condescending to post my remarks to you.
This year I am a Thomas J. Watson Fellow (and just to rub it in that is why my screen name is watsonfellow) studying Catholic (in the original Latin) and Islamic (in the originial squiggly lines) culture in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East (and if you're not impressed yet there's more).
I am a traditionalist Catholic who wakes up every morning to an alarm clock doing Gregorian Chants in the original Latin. I believe that scratching your crotch during Interleague Baseball games should be abolished and that Evelyn Waugh is the greatest snob of the century (I read all the Cliff Notes about him and saw the video of "The Loved One" 537 times.) I also support the idea that redundancy can be quite catchy as well as contagious.
First of all to prevent all the flamings, I should say that I am better than you because I am a traditional conservative, not one of you low-class populist conservatives. That being said, I thought it the height of rudeness for these firemen and policemen to boo and yell at the Senator this weekend. It lacked dignity and class. They should have kept their low-class populist mouths shut and have allowed the Senator to continue to believe that everybody loved her.
I wonder what Burke et al (I learned to quote Burke and et al in my PPEE classes to impress you ignorant populists) would have said about this conservative embrace of very questionable manners. Even my butler found this to be quite quite rude. In fact I'll never forget how he tut-tutted over it for a full 5 minutes.
The policemen and firemen should have just done nothing when she appeared on stage. Remember, we as traditional conservatives must not ever ever show our emotions in public. Much better for the Senator to just roll over the peons. Remember, the important thing is not to express your true opinions but to act in a dignified way.
Thank you and did I tell you that I speak fluent Latin, drink port wine, and did a lot of PPEE PPEE in college after drinking too much of that port wine (the labels were in Latin)?
I shoulda announced my post itself wuz (an attempt at) a joke? Sorry...
Guess it wasn't just a bad trip, but I kinda remember it as someone else’s memory if you know what I mean. Thank God this is an anonymous forum, doubt that I would admit this in public. ;~)
***During WWII Churchill once submitted a draft of an important wartime speech to the British Foreign Office for comment which was returned to him with no comment whatever on content. But where he had ended a sentence with a preposition a Foreign Office purist had careted the preposition into its stiffly grammatical position.
At this the Prime Minister flew into a lather. To the offending purist he dispatched a note: "This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put!"****Louis J. Alber, Current History and Forum (^:
Oh my gosh. This instantly brings to mind the old saying that if you question 7 people, you will discover some link. Hmmm...sounds like liberal Love One Another peacenik claptrap, but it has proved true on occasion - LIKE NOW!
I have a good childhood friend who was a key member of JMATHA. We had some awesome parties in L.A., involving hot tubs, Absolut and the like (all very clothed, for you nasties out there!)
"Madame. We heard you the first time,
There is no need to make it rhyme."
Now, that is Kinky!
Quite, my good fellow.
I will have you know, dear fellow, we study pomposity, plagerism, excess, and egotism. Do get it right next time. ;-)
LOL.....I know it is shameful to say this as a conservative, but..........SOMETIMES IT JUST FEELS GOOD TO BOO. There I feel better now.
But before I go I have to add one more BOO to the people here who didn't realize this was a spoof. Yikes, two boos in one post. Does that mean I'm a really, really rude conservative?
Discourteously yours,

Heh heh heh heh.
At first all I could think of was outting watsofellow on another thread because it was too obvious that he was a DU disruptor.
However, PJ has shown me the error of my ways.
This guy is way to funny to ban him.
Let's keep him for a pet.
Please. Proper etiquette only for the Harvard crowd here. At Harvard, it's "Urinate". ;-)
Why is it we are supposed to sit quietly and meekly as a fraud tries to win political points by appearing at a fund raiser in honor of police and firemen? These same police she has disrespected many times in the past, the police that she harmed as she sped through a check point, the guards her supporters spit on at one of her events. Also, if I remember correctly this lady and her husband gave pardons to terrorists, gave concessions to other terrorists and I think I remember some connection in the past to Bin Laden.
