The old guys had style, even class; today’s crowd spends more on teeth-whiteners than on books. Obama is perfect for the age. Like Bush, he had the Ivy-League degrees; unlike Bush he had the pretension that they meant something, even though in his mind the Berlin Airlift, the German language, Auschwitz, World War II, Cordoba, the geography of the U.S., almost anything dealing with history, geography, literature, or well, knowledge in general—well all that is stuff that others less relevant than he learned in college.

The Rot has spread to Selma.
You tellin me not to sit down in the bus?
You can't sit down in it when you are being thrown under it.
Can’t they make one movie of the Lewis and Clark expedition or Lepanto, and one less with Tom Hanks as the anguished and caring postmodern man?
But then, what would Pepe watch? He wouldn't know Lepanto from his pants (assuming he wears some.)
Car crashes, evil white men killing the innocent, some gay or feminist heroes fending off club-bearing white homophobic Mississippians in pick-ups.
The Pepean cloaca in full regalia.
Lepanto? No one wants to see that. The bad guys won and the dumb battle made some stupid muslim-baiter famous.
Are you talking about Don Juan de Austria?
