Dec 2016

annoyed by "coastal elite" when I realized it means "people who have some clue, even a small one, as to what's going on." If it's "elite" to read a paper daily than I'm an elite. Actually, some days I'm a double elite, because in addition to the Philadelphia paper daily, I get the NYT three days a week. Sue me.
