“As for wealthy people viewing themselves as better, there’s also the entire Clavinist doctrine for you.”

speeeling: “Calvinist doctrine”

Clavinist Doctrine is instead based on a different target of selection:

“Well you see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

I’ve been pissed at Notre Dame ever since that day when I was watching the teevee and ironing my only decent pair of pants in preparation for a Really Big Date, and Bob Gladieux broke free for a long run against Southern Cal, and I was so horrified by the scene I froze up and stopped moving the iron and burned a perfect iron base into my only decent pair of pants and I had to hustle out and spend precious bucks on a new pair of decent pants, which from then on were known as the Bob Gladieux Memorial Pants. The Big Date was a bust and I didn’t get laid and to this day I blame Bob Gladieux.

This year, for Xmas, I’d like to see Megan lose her blogging gig.

Nice, timr.
Sounds like you have more ‘real Christianity’ in your family than an entire megachurch full of Republican-Jeebus-wants-me-to-be-rich provincial pod people.

Dillon:

6′ 2″? Wow! That’s a storker!

I had gathered Megan was tall, but I didn’t know she was that tall.

Perhaps that contributes to her odd world-view that she knows what true suffering is.

Still, she seems to be everything I hate in the rich. Blind, stupid, ignorant, callous, arrogant, smug and superior.

And I would feel differently about her had she come from modest (and even better, poor) roots, which appears not to be the case.

Clueless is as clueless writes.

All they know is Ayn Rand ate lunch in the Nixon White House with Rumsfeld and Bill Simon.

The any-tennial edition of Atlas Shrugged

Do any of these fuckers read the parts where government-sponsored WMD get’s dissed because it’s ~~immoral~~taxpayer sponsored, or when Galt tells them there is no God.

Does anyone wonder why they ignore those parts?

Hey, I’d like to be a fly on the wall in Miss McAddled’s closet. More than half, if not all, of the designer wear she owns is made for cheap in third world countries (China included); ditto for the plastic shit she buys.
