One of the standard book-naming conventions of the last two decades has been The End of Whatever: History, Racism, Poverty, Faith, or various other things that clearly aren't coming to an end. This week's Economist devotes a serious review to a book with the most absurd title yet in this line: The End of Food.

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Hmmm, that's a pretty bad headline. My favourite all time bad headline was "Can Grant Hill Save Sports?" on the cover of GQ, that one was something else.
You can add "The Last [whatever]" to that, that's a not uncommon title these days. And whatever is being referred to is also never the last of its kind.
Don't forget "The End of Science" by John Horgan. He still does Science Saturday at bloggingheads.tv and he always annoys me. George Johnson is much better.
Can I go OT for a minute? I read an Economist article about AIDS recently where the author was forced to admit reality:Africa is different! Thats why they have sooo much AIDS!He talked about how male and female Africans have multiple partners as a matter of course,referencing the infamous lorry drivers---and you know what those guys are up to! But,probably under pain of firing,added a cover your ass statement that,tho Africans do have all these multiple partners,they do NOT have more lovers in a lifetime than Europeans! So there! Uhmmm..what? :*
From some book titles containing "the end of" at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=%22The+End+of%22
Some ends are "scary":
poverty
oil
food
America
faith
reason
Iraq
history
memory
education
medicine
your world
the world as you know it
worlds
baseball
art
beauty
innocence
reform
Time
days
eternity
the universe
all things
Some ends are "hopeful":
panic

All ends promise "change":

the European Era
At least it's good for a joke: wouldn't 'the end of food' naturally be crap?
