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.

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.)

When you're paying wastes of space like MoDo, Tommy Friedman & David Brooks north of $250k each to produce 6 columns/week, how do you have the money to pay your "average" writers (you know, folks in the top 5% of the top 1% of writers in the US) $500-$1k for a timely book review?
That's just sour grapes. The first things to get cut when an organization is the middle managers - the ones who assign the work to the writers. I guess the assignment to handle Chua's book got lost under Bill Keller's favorite coffee mug.
" a multitude of bad writers lives exclusively on the stupid desire of the public to read what has just been printed: the journalists. Well named! In English the word means "day laborers".
Schopenhauer
He says also that newspaper writers are alarmists that resemble little dogs, as soon as anything moves, start up a loud barking.
Isn't this stupid book passe by now? Why is anyone still writing (or talking) about it?
"my son wrote a high school term paper on the book in April"
Did he read your review first??
"Isn't this stupid book passe by now? Why is anyone still writing (or talking) about it?"
Exactly what Steve is saying.
Maybe but NYRB at its best is very good indeed. I especially love pieces by Buruma and Freeman Dyson.
The funniest is Obama's mother having been a tiger mother. She was more like a Jungle Beaver.

They write for the New York Times, not the New York Review of Books. Different bunch of left-wing Jewish homosexual pornographers.

not that your complaint re the Times is invalid but steve is talking about the "ny review of books" not the "ny times book review"-a different set of leftists completely,(more my type iykwim)
Tiger Mom is supposed to stick around, be supportive, and be loyal in her role as motherhood.
Whatever Ann Dunham did with kid Obama for awhile, she soon dumped him to go off with another man. And then she dumped him altogether on her own mother, Obama's grandmother. So, Obama's good influences--if he really got any--came from his grandmother, not from his mother who quit being his mother; heck, even his Indonesian father was more of a parent to him than Ann ever was.
As for Obama's grandmother, she was more like a mother goose than a tiger mother.
A tiger mother makes her child excel at something. Obama was raised to succeed in life but not to be great at anything, and indeed he never attained mastery in anything. He was an okay basketball player, he was an okay student--favored by affirmative action--, he earned honors at Harvard largely because he was a clean-cut black guy(if Michelle Obama could get into Princeton and Harvard Law School, you know blacks are way favored even if they aint much), and he went into politics, a field that is for people who aren't particularly good at anything but 'human relations'. Obama wasn't even distinguished as a community organizer, laywer, or professor. He didn't do much as Senator, and he's just a tool as president.
He never wrote an important book--except one about himself though he hadn't accomplished anything in life except be 'significant' and 'symbolic' for white suckers.
It wasn't a tiger mother who made him what he is. It was the Fat Cats--in Wall Street, Ivy League, Hollywood, etc--who spotted, groomed, and trained him to be their running dog.
So, it is hilarious that Diane Johnson would say Obama was raised by a tiger mother. If Amy Chua had done for her girls what Ann Dunham did for Obama--hang around for awhile and then dump her girls to go off with another man--, she would NOT have been a tiger mother. She would have been just a...
Obama's dog sure was a lion hubby/father. He had a bunch of wives and made them do everything while he drank and dined and whined.
The elites are turning inward, entertaining themselves. Another example is SNL, of all things. Anyone could write funnier skits. But it's Tina (Fey) and "our gang" - they don't care whether YOU find it funny. (Witness the godawful skit with Betty White and the muffins, apparently written by a charmless 14-year-old.) There's a lot of mediocrity at the top.
Diane Johnson's pretty insightful when she writes about her real passion, which is France and its social and sexual mores. Here she's hamstrung by an inability to address race and understand its effects on American education. So weird, so tiresome that that failing is considered no problemo - indeed, muy bueno - in the high-status news game.
Now I'm interested in reading your son's book report--where's the link?
"Obama's dog sure was a lion hubby/father."
You mean his dad. Did he have a dog?
Anon gives kudos to O's maternal grandmother and his stepfather. Quite right too: they are the virtuous people in an otherwise dismal tale of child abandonment.
Sailer's more and more fascinated with himself.
"Obama was raised to succeed in life but not to be great at anything, and indeed he never attained mastery in anything"
You can't make a silk purse out of sow's ear. That's what this HBD blog is all about.
btw; Hog references keep coming up in metaphors swirling around B.O. No offense to hogs meant. They are noble beasts, comparatively.
Johnson says US is failing in education, but she ignores recent international test results which showed that white Americans test better than white Europeans, Asian-Americans test better than Asians, Mexican-Americans test better than Mexicans, Black-Americans test better than Africans, etc.
