Op-Ed Columnist - What Independents Want - NYTimes.com

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:26:09 -0800

From the page: "If I were a politician trying to win back independents, I�d say something like this: When I was a kid, I had a jigsaw puzzle of the U.S. Each state was a piece, and on it there was a drawing showing what people made there. California might have movies; Washington State, apples; New York, fashion or publishing. That puzzle represented an economy that was diverse and deeply rooted.

We�ve lost that. First Wall Street got disproportionately big, then Washington. It�s time to return to fundamentals. No short-term fixes. Government should do what it�s supposed to do: schools, roads, basic research. It should not be picking C.E.O.�s or setting pay or fizzing up the economy with more debt. It should give people the tools to compete, not rig the competition. Lines of restraint have dissolved, and they need to be restored."

Prosecutors Turn Tables on Student Journalists - NYTimes.com

From the page: "But as the Medill Innocence Project is raising concerns about another case, that of a man convicted in a murder 31 years ago, a hearing has been scheduled next month in Cook County Circuit Court on an unusual request: Local prosecutors have subpoenaed the grades, grading criteria, class syllabus, expense reports and e-mail messages of the journalism students themselves."

Karl Lagerfeld: curvy women should stay off the catwalk - Telegraph

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 23:55:00 -0700

Lagerfeld is delusional. I will still buy his cologne cause I like the scent, but this comment shows how batty the old guard of haute couture truly is. IMO, you kind of have to be a little nuts to want to be a fashion designer in the first place.

There's another story buried here that can be seen in the generational transformation that took place in American and Western culture generally over the past decades. Men now are overwhelmingly in proportion identified by their taste for roundness in women, particularly a roundness of the rear end. This is not to say that men like girls with big butts -- although that interpolation of the forumla has been pronounced over the years -- but rather that roundness in shape is an attractive quality. Sorry, ladies, contrary to the American economy, your butt can not become too big too fail. Nonetheless, to everyone who is not living under a rock, it is clear that younger generations of American men now see a woman's backside as her best sexual feature, as opposed to the older generations who were much more inclined to appreciate a woman's breasts.
