To the editor,
I should apologize for my lack of perspicacity as it relates to my understanding of the theory that highly educated people can think more analytically. Perhaps I should endeavor to increase my quotidian elucubration so that I might be better able to analyze the juxtaposition and spacial incongruities in the works of M. C. Escher.
Better yet let's test this theory by taking a stroll down memory lane. Our first stop is Paul Krugman's house. In 2016 Paul said that if Donald Trump was elected President the stock market would crash and the world financial markets would be damaged so badly that they may never recover. Did I mention that very small Paul has a PhD in Economics? This is not to say that everyone with a PhD in Economics is as ignorant as Pauly but it is an open question. Our next stop in Rachel Maddow's house. For three straight years Rachel lied to her gullible audience about Trump/Russia collusion. As every schoolboy now knows the only Russia collusion was bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Did I mention that Rachel has a PhD? Then you have Liz Magill (who was President of the University of Pennsylvania) and Claudine Gay (who was President of Harvard University) both of whom could not agree that calling for the genocide of Jews would violate their codes of conduct! Did I mention that both Lizzy and Claudine have PhD's? Let's not forget Ketanji Brown Jackson (Juris Doctor) who could not define what a woman is! Of course, we don't want to leave out Joe Biden (Juris Doctor) who said to all African Americans, “If you don't vote for me, you ain't black.” At least Jo Jo can claim senility instead of ignorance! Falling from their high horses is going to leave a mark on their behinds.
For those of us in steerage, we make sport of effete snobbery not because it is fun and easy (although it is a target rich environment) but because their ridicule is so well deserved. Calling out snobs used to be the work of the media. Sadly, today's ultra far left media now plays on the same team as the snobs.
One of the benefits of being a snob is that you are so focused on looking down on people that it never occurs to you that you should apologize for saying stupid things which is why the people mentioned above have, in aggregate, apologized exactly zero times. Now, about that theory?
