Just Vaulted into the Elite:
I’m pleased to announce two new “over-achiever” inductees into our Progressives’ Promenade of the Elite, by virtue of their particularly stellar recent public displays of Noble Notoriety:
— Milady Michael Posner, Praetor of Prostrate Apology and Master of Meek (America)
— Baronet Blumenthal of Tall Tale, Regent of Rigor and Rectitude (and Vietnam, Harvard Swim-team Captaincy, etc)
Posthumously Introduced:
— Sir Teddy Kennedy the EverReady (a noted swimmer, like Sir Blumenthal)
— Margrave Murtha of Mean Marine (a former Marine, Margrave Murtha’s brave immediate attack on our Mean American troops’ alleged and unproven “Nazi-like murders” of Iraqi civilians drew proud support from Duke Durbin, Count Kerry and others of the loyal Democrat Nobility).
— Baron Byrd the Befuddled, [former] Count of Klan
I thought you might want to join me in the well-deserved accolades……
