Finally, a blog for the best of us.

Welcome to the Elite-est Elitist! The blog for people who are smarter and better than you. No, not YOU. The loser sitting behind you. Don't turn arou-- godammit. 

This election season, we've heard the word "elitist" bandied around quite a bit, particularly in reference to this blog's preferred candidate. Well, I resent that kind of talk. I'm sick of the anti-meritocracy. I want to see intellectuals with bright, open minds leading the way. I think arugula is delicious. I have a deep appreciation for the elite and the hyperbolic. Thus: The Elite-est Elitist. 

I'll be using this blog to point out and deride examples of anti-intellectualism, and to celebrate the triumphs of the better over the worse. Who the hell do I think I am to judge best and worst? Shut up, that's who I am.

I welcome my fellow elitists to share their clearly superior opinions on this blog. If you'd like to post an entry, send me a message. Before you do, some limits on freedom of expression are in order. A sampling of no-nos:

• use of the terms McSame, McBush, or other similarly tired pun insults (pun-sults)
• un-ironic allusions to snake oil, kool-aid, hot air, groupies, etc. 
• Violations of Godwin's Law
• racism, sexism, homophobia, threats of violence, cruelty, or meanspirited-ness. Unless it's funny and pertinent, in which case, go to town.
• shitting on Hope (and lay off the Dreams, too) out of cynicism or hipster douchebaggery.
• Ron Paul

Why all the restrictions? What are you, some kind of fascist?! Hey, this internet's got plenty of tubes for all of us - there are hundreds of websites to post your wacky, fringe ideas (McCain/Palin '08? These kids today are crazy!), and accusations of fascism clearly fall into the no-no category. Suck on that, hypothetical reactionary!

Welcome. Let the elitism begin!
