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)?
PJ has used this as a comedy vehicle to show up this pretentious little pissant.
I stand in awe.
Stand? How dare you? In my presence you must GROVEL! However, I am also quite modest so please treat me as you would any other major deity.
Please accept my most humble and profound apologies for presuming to critique your most illustrious self.
Whine, whine, whimper.
Studying Catholic CULTURE. Some people think Catholicism is a religion but I, the mighty watsonfellow with my PPEE, have been able to discern that it is actually a culture. Not to be confused with the squigly line alphabet Islamic culture in which I am also the world's foremost expert.
You are forgiven my son. Now go out and sin some more.
These people are so provincial. In Fort Worth the other day a group of college age individuals were seen at a bar yelling, "USA! USA! USA!"
A couple of fellows in cowboy hats seated near-by shook their heads and said, "Dern foreigners."
I have gone through twice now reading the most pithy comments. The second pass through was funnier by far. The feelings people have about hillary and the things they want done to her are quite remarkable.---And I'm right there with them.
