St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church

Thomas Frank, former editor of one of the most important cultural journals in modern times (now, I think, defunct), is now writing for the Wall Street Journal.

Amazing.

He writes: "It is by this familiar maneuver that the people who have designed and supported the policies that have brought the class divide back to America – the people who have actually, really transformed our society from an egalitarian into an elitist one – perfume themselves with the essence of honest toil, like a cologne distilled from the sweat of laid-off workers. Likewise do their retainers in the wider world – the conservative politicians and the pundits who lovingly curate all this phony authenticity – become jes' folks, the most populist fellows of them all."
