No,No dear. The other one, those people with all those pillars and bath houses. The Ottomans ? No, that doesn't seem right. It will come to me after I refresh this bottle of artisanal organic vino from Campania. So complex, so full of cyclical history.

What happens to Apologist Editorial Spinster when she turns her most powerful wordsmithery against the Elites she normally blusters for? What of populism? O Reagan, I have sinned!

So Peggeen has finally noticed that the Elite are acknowledging their position at the top of the food chain and they know being greedy & cynical keeps them there.Some of them are simply more proud of this than others.

It's really not their fault. It's just tough for a dame to pee on a tree.

I hear that you can discourage that behavior by scattering moth balls around.
