All Elitists check in here.
If you want elitists (those smart guys) running your government, and not the guy hanging out a Joe's Bar and Grill who may have the entire line-ups for the last 40 years of his favourite major league team memorized, but not know the difference between a senator or representative and not know who's his are, then chime in here!

It's time for the smart guys to take over the government.

6. The point that I tried to make
is that I want the smart folks running the government What I mean by that is those who are intellectually curious and will reason out a solution to a problem, rather than going on a "gut instinct"

:hi:

17. I have an arugula salad recipe I called "Man Salad" that I need a new elite name for
It's the sort of thing Joe Sixpack accepts as his sort of salad. But it's too elite for such a common name. It's sort of fajitas for rich guys without the tortilla...

...Peppered fingers of flank steak rare with oyster mushrooms sauteed in butter and nutmeg served over a bed of arugula and garnished with tomato wedges, all bathed in a mustard, dry sherry, and all-spice vinegrette.

I'm thinking of changing to an elite name like Chomsky Greens with With Filet of Bos.
