Ah, yes, my wikipedia entry of the day - the chattering class.
a politically active, socially concerned and highly educated section of the "metropolitan middle class," especially those with political, media, and academic connections. the term has "connotations of idleness, of useless talk, that the noun 'chatter' does. [...] These people don't amount to much — they like to hear themselves talk."In America, they watch Girls and read the New York Times.

Say, can you elucidate "Central Planners" for in tomorrow's post? My mom says that it's just a code word right-wing-nuts use pejoratively to, often falsely, characterize political groups which they disagree with as socialist, but I think mom's just an old commie herself, so I'm eager to read your opinion about it, Mr. Mojito!
