The average American is not necessarily an asshole, but he/she is most definitely a moron. Mencken coined a phrase for it, i.e., "the booboisie."

Somebody wiser than I pointed out that in poker there is a sucker in every game. If you cannot spot the sucker, it's you.

My idiot neighbors are the suckers in the GQP's game. Most of them don't have a pot to piss in, but they LOVE Republicans, because they're going to take us back to the fifties, the 1850s.

Most nice goils'd call a cab before the second drink in a dive like that. My bet is she's got the hots for the bartender.

These elites are ‘progressives’ Republicans who believe our country should be managed by an exclusive cadre of ‘experts’ who wield authority through an unaccountable and massive administrative state. They tend to view average Americans with contempt.

Why do I have to keep fixing these things?

First time I went was a couple years later. We found CBGBs, but didn't realize it was Music Marathon weekend; so the crowd outside boasted a surprisingly large contingent of familiar ClePunk faces. Like we'd never left home at all.
