[Magdalen] "Poor Little Old Rhode Island."

[ME Michaud]

Accent has as much to do with class as with location.

A few months ago I beat a clergyman about the head and shoulders
(metaphorically) for mocking the accent of the waitress who brought him his
coffee. Unseemly for a man wearing a collar. Unseemly for anyone. Take the
coffee and be grateful. Do not sneer.

Seth MacFarlane's liberal political positions don't keep him from mocking
(not rocking) that working class accent.

If you can't tell, this is a YUUUGE deal for me.
