Given the recent weak attempts to caffeinate the paranoid style in American politics Eli would like to take this opportunity to point out that he is no latte sipping intellectual, but rather a latte slurping intellectual. Having stood behind several rather rough looking long hares in the neighborhood not Starbucks, he suspects the usefulness of the first description don't go very far these days.Eli, of course, enjoys the occasional beer cremes.
Keeping paranoia at bay, I'd much rather have our country run by intellectuals that slurp lattes than sip them, simply because slurpers are more likely to align themselves with ordinary folks, whereas sippers are more prone to fall into the hands of plutocrats. This is why Obama wasn't my first choice among presidential hopefuls.
ReplyDeleteThe spoon, the cup handle, and the shadow from the saucer together form a hammer-and-sickle symbol. Proof positive that Eli Rabett is part of the Great Soviet Warmist Plot, muhahahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteAnd no doubt the beer creme is just a distraction.
