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.

Gilding the tangerine
The New York Times today reports that it takes only six minutes for Alec Baldwin to make-up as Donald Trump for his performances on Saturday Night Live. That brings to mind an obvious recommendation for the Donald, who must spend at least two hours every morning arranging to look like himself:
Stop the Twitter assaults on Baldwin's performances and ask him how he does it. Once you're playing President of the United States you need to devote as much time as possible to the job.
On second thought maybe the less time he spends on the job, the better.
