Recently I took a friend with only a high school degree to lunch. Insensitively, I led her into a gourmet sandwich shop. Suddenly I saw her face freeze up as she was confronted with sandwiches named “Padrino” and “Pomodoro” and ingredients like soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette. I quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and she anxiously nodded yes and we ate Mexican.

i'm ROLLING

the first half (third?) was actually pretty good and correct. but then, god dammit he david brooksed the hell out of it.

i get his initial point (not everyone eats the same foods/has the same entertainment and that can lead to people seeking out their own packs and that trickles into sorting society out) but damn if he didn't david brooks his way around that piece. 'my dumb-ass friend didn't know what ham was'

i also think this mentality doesn't give enough credit to people; non college-educated people or those on the lower economic scale are not goddamned cavemen

Recently I took a friend with doctoral degree to lunch. Insensitively I led him into a McDonalds. Suddenly I saw his face freeze up as he was confronted with menu items like "Hamburger" and "Fries" and ingredients like ketchup, mustard and a sesame seed bun. I quickly asked him if he wanted to go somewhere else and he anxiously nodded yes and we ate gluten free vegan Thai.

Somehow, the needle needs to be moved with these people if we're ever going to get the GOP controlled congress to act like americans and do their jobs.

Well, it doesn't always work with you, since your head is often in the clouds.
