10. God, you know- as a blue collar guy, this kind of shit really bugs me.
Edited on Sun Feb-20-05 10:42 PM by Stirk
When these modern aristocrats try posing as "regular folks", they always end up insulting them with caricature. It's like a fucking Al Jolson act. Bush puts on a fake twang and says "nucular", and all the media whores say people like him because they indentify with his stupidity. Laura eschews french cuisine in public and has doughnuts and barbecue instead. O'Reilly acts like a belligerant, hyper-aggressive baby. And all these things are supposed to help me "identify" with them.

My family was dirt poor when I was growing up, but ignorance and stupidity were frowned upon. There were libraries, and my parents could cook more than barbecued hotdogs. I can't stand these dim-witted millionaires who assume that your tax bracket is directly proportional to your IQ.
