(I'm also thinking of somebody like Joe Republic--who actually makes a much better caricature of Modern Liberal Man than Evelyn Waugh's Lieutenant Hooper, because he manages to be both a smug urban liberal and overtly anti-intellectual at the same time--calling me 'pretentious' because I speak in different registers with different posters, as if any departure from the absolute baseline of my personality must be something I'm putting on for show.)
Who knew it was so easy to get underneath your skin!
