A comforting bit of wisdom from Elbert Hubbard, the American writer and philosopher who was born on this date in 1856:
“A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability toforget is the true token of greatness."
Buggerthebooboisie is dedicated to the memory and spirit of H.L. Mencken (above) who coined "booboisie," loosely defined as the middle class of the gullible masses. Mencken's observations and commentaries have withstood the test of time -- with appalling modern relevance. I invite all commentary that debunks the prevailing nonsense in America's political and social dialogue. As a newspaperman I also invite the reminiscences of others who recall the happier days of the trade.
