Priming the Kaboom

Played 36 at Calvert Pitch and Putt with Dr.Z yesterday to a 104, discovering that forehand Destroyer merits further research, and Dr.Z and I were talking about these very people profiled today in Wash Post opinion piece, The Superclass.

Does the superclass know just how out of control the continuum is? And if it does, does it being beyond their control justify their accelerating the aggregating chaos like kids in grocery carts racing down steep hills? The crash is coming; might as well enjoy the speed, as if they had a choice?

• One bitter, working-class vote for Obama.
• Makes you wish he'd shut up about AIDS.
