The Rise of the Illiterati
The secret society that opposes the Illuminati
Friends: If I do not post tomorrow, it will almost certainly be because the Illiterati have seized me. Or because I was really tired and took a day off. But probably it will be because the Illiterati have chosen to silence me.

They had grown so tired of all the smart people looking down their noses at them. Then came a money-grubbing little man who celebrated ignorance, vulgarity and petty cruelties. They loved him.
Membership in the Illiterati grew exponentially, although none of the members of the Illiterati know what an exponent is, so let’s just say the group “got real big.”
