My new favorite word. (For today at least.)

A little while back, I got a notice that all of our Delta miles were expiring and had to be spent on magazine subscriptions. There are four of us. I got a lot of magazines - I can't even remember what all I subscribed to. So far, I've received issues of Entertainment Weekly, Dwell, Martha Stewart Living and Time. The Martha Stewart kind of surprised me - not sure what I'll do with that. But, I admit I dig the lady. The Time has been awesome. I haven't gotten my news anywhere but the Internet in ages. This last week's issue has a HUGE spread on what Obama can learn from FDR. I've only done a rapid skim so far, but am a little disconcerted that I haven't seen a mention of his responsibility for the internment of my peeps back in the day. I suppose the magazine isn't advocating Obama move in that direction, but I'd still like to see it acknowledged. Ok, I got totally off topic. I did have a point and it is that this last week's issue turned me on to my new favorite word. Poorgeoisie n.- Rich entrepreneurs and executives who strive to look like starving artists.

Poorgeoise and those who pretend to be less wealthy have been with us for years. What has changed is that many of them no longer have to pretend.

LOL. In fairness, I think many were previously starving artists in their fields and just uncomfortable changing their style simply because their circumstances changed. Still funny.
