I am a recent graduate of Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California, where I studied Classics and PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics). This year I am a Thomas J. Watson Fellow studying Catholic and Islamic culture in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
I am a traditionalist Catholic who believes that Masses should be in Latin, Interleague Baseball games abolished, and that Evelyn Arthur St.John Waugh is the greatest writer of the century. I also support the idea that while style is not everything, it is indeed something!

Heres your man
Evelyn Arthur St.John Waugh is the greatest writer of the century.
I find it odd that one who adores the curmudgeon Waugh would find booing so distasteful. Had he lived until the present time, Waugh himself might have examined the obituaries daily, hoping for notice of Hillary's early demise.
