The man’s mind is a cathedral, and I, a mere congregant, have been invited into its inner sanctum.

A profile, by Virginia Heffernan

This might be the most depressing cult-like article I have ever seen. Why do they worship fags who are awful at their jobs?

EDIT:

HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS LINE:

Buttigieg, who is white but makes up for it by being gay,

The article I linked OP is a parody of Wired's profile of Buttigieg:

Thank fuck for that. I probably should have read more of it but after reading the other article I assumed it was just "Puff Piece Pete" day.

To be fair "his mind is a cathedral" is a direct quote.

The satirical article suffers from the fact that the original is beyond parody. The satire is less outrageous than the original.

Me thinks you need to tune your sarcasm-meter.

Honestly, talk of some guy's "cathedral mind" would set off my sarcasm-meter big time, if I didn't know about the American media's worship of basically any Democrat.

I might have bought the first two paragraphs as in character for leftist journos but after that it's just clever insults.

That was pretty funny.

Smirking, he picks up the phone again, and dials a number — tap! tap! tap! “Hello, again,” he says, amused. “Of course, what I meant to say was ‘Aeneadum genetrix, hominum divomque voluptas.’ Rookie mistake! Yeah! I know, right?!”

Another rookie mistake: it's divum, not divom.

EDIT: Turns out that it wasn't wrong, just a strange form.

"Aeneadum genetrix, hominum divomque voluptas" is a direct quote from Titus Lucretius Carus's De rerum natura.

How strange, I thought it was a printing/scanning error. But apparently not.

The vocative singular of deus does not occur in classic Latin, but is said to have been dee; deus (like the nominative) occurs in the Vulgate. For the genitive plural, dīvum or dīvom, dīvus divine) is often used. src

Buttigieg wins again!

Haha sometimes you just have to let your enemies know you see them. (Hello, Virginia!) Great British wit in this one.
