How to Shop

23rd February 2008

Read it.

Fashion magazines don’t help much either. Elle talks to Ashlee Simpson. And writes down what she says. To be recorded for all time.

If I tried to dress to hide all the parts of my body I have ever been self-conscious about, the only thing left to wear would be a hazmat suit.

“Show me a woman with a good three inches of cleavage on display, and I’ll show you a woman who, rightly or wrongly, has little faith in her powers of conversation.”

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny.

In Maryland, the No. 37 Bus Uprising

Read it. The People of the Crust of Potomac, Maryland, are irate at having government treat them the way they would have the federal government treat the entire nation. Irony seems too inadequate a term.

Iraq’s Kurds move in on oil stronghold Kirkuk

23rd February 2008

Read it. And the Arabs are whining. “Mommy! Joey hit me back!”

“Our ration cards are being cancelled and transferred,” said Sheikh Hassan Rashid, who has lived in Kirkuk since 1989.

“How can we live without the ration card? It would be impossible to buy food. We are being forced out.”

Well, guy, that’s what happens when you live in a country that has ration cards. Verb sap.

Ivy League Populism

21st February 2008

Victor Davis Hanson takes a look at the People of the Crust.

Barack Obama may have gone to exclusive private schools. He and his wife may both be lawyers who between them have earned four expensive Ivy League degrees. They may make about a million dollars a year, live in an expensive home and send their kids to prep school. But they are still apparently first-hand witnesses to how the American dream has gone sour. Two other Ivy League lawyers, Hillary and Bill, are multimillionaires who have found America to be a land of riches beyond most people’s imaginations. But Hillary also talks of the tragic lost dream of America.

I am reminded of the pundit who characterized modern politics as a conspiracy by the upper class and the underclass against the middle class.

Stuff White People Like #71 Being the only white person around

20th February 2008

In most situations, white people are very comforted by seeing their own kind. However, when they are eating at a new ethnic restaurant or traveling to a foreign nation, nothing spoils their fun more than seeing another white person.

Psychology for Economists

20th February 2008

Steve Sailer is always worth reading.

The widespread illusion that smart people are going to be experts at life just because they’re smart is well worth debunking — we all know a lot of smart but foolish people if we stop and think about it, even aside from the obvious political candidates.

The mental ability to process and manipulate information doesn’t help when the “business rules” being applied are themselves flawed. I’m fond of drawing an analogy to role-playing games: intelligence and wisdom are almost always distinct characteristics.

Stuff White People Like #67 Standing Still at Concerts

17th February 2008

Read it.

If you find yourself invited to a concert with a white person, do NOT expect to dance. Prepare yourself for three hours of standing reasonably still. It is also advised to get a beer or (if legal) a cigarette so you have something to do with your hands. Although it is acceptable to occasionally raise one hand and point just above the stage.
