It's time to shake my tin cup again and ask you to help me stay in business as a writer. I believe I provide good value.
While I'm tooting my own horn, I want to call attention to my book reviewing. I've got a review coming out shortly of former Mexican foreign minister Jorge Castaneda's book on how to fix Mexicans' national culture. I don't think any other reviewer is currently reading public intellectuals' books as carefully as I do.

Thanks. I appreciate it, profoundly.
Jorge Castaneda is Jewish, isn't he Steve? How does that inform, if at all, his perspective on Mexican national culture and on whether or how it should be changed ("fixed")?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. A Jewish guy sets out to "fix" Mexican culture. Tikkun olam?
ReplyDeleteAs always, glad to.
ReplyDeleteDone...you're right, you are worth it.
ReplyDelete"I've got a review coming out shortly of former Mexican foreign minister Jorge Castaneda's book on how to fix Mexicans' national culture."
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that isn't Carlos Castaneda?
The difference between the two is that Carlos makes more sense than Jorge.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have a WIKIPEDIA page? You're not influential or matter enough. I'm going to have to get them to remove it for lack of noteworthiness.
ReplyDeleteSteve you've enlightened me frequently over the 13 years I've read you but I will never send you a penny because you make your blog a gathering place for genuine racists and bile-spewing misogynists. I know a writer can't choose his fans but it wouldn't hurt to distance yourself from these bottom-feeders.

ReplyDeleteSomething tells me you can't even manage to get a decent table at Applebee's, genius.
Why don't you just post your P.O. box here? In case some of us would like to donate to you without a trail of bread crumbs.
ReplyDeleteEmulate the Britons. Just go to NY Times, force the personnel to strip their clothes and hand over their wallets, steal a whole bunch of stuff, run off with the loot, sell em on ebay, and you have a tidy sum.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a pillage.
And then some Ny Times columnist can opine, "What does Steve the Looter want?"
ReplyDeleteLoot.
ReplyDeleteIs Tiger done? http://news.yahoo.com/woods-heads-home-missing-cut-atlanta-232516820.html Once identified by either his No. 1 ranking or his 14 majors, Woods missed the cut Friday at Atlanta Athletic Club with a performance that was even more shocking because of the numbers he compiled.
ReplyDeleteHe hit into 22 bunkers. He put four balls in the water. His five double bogeys were the most he ever made in one tournament.

ReplyDeleteGoogle Translation -
"I'm so terrified of encountering different viewpoints that I wet my pants, and I need Steve to protect me from people who say things I don't want to hear".
"Steve you've enlightened me frequently over the 13 years I've read you but I will never send you a penny because you make your blog a gathering place for genuine racists and bile-spewing misogynists.

ReplyDeleteAs awful as some of the people here are, and, yeah, some of them want all Jews dead, the free-for-all atmosphere is healthier for the intellect.

ReplyDeleteHey, I'm a liberal cosmopolitan and proud of it. So are a lot of other readers on this site. We come here to learn. And not just from the very talented Mr. Sailer, a journalist's journalist if ever there was one, who fearlessly writes about human biological diversity and its cultural ramifications, but from his commenters too, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Racists, race-baiters, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, social democrats, Democrats, Republicans, Red Staters, Blue Staters, believers, unbelievers, East Asians, South Asians, Africans, Europeans, gentiles and Jews, you name it. We are all here, many anonymous (but not me!) trying to update our educations in this age of population genetics. You can't put the genome back in its bottle.
And a lot of us (I hope) support Steve with our wallets, in my case because I have a little money and can't imagine my morning cup of coffee without him.
"Some of them want all Jews dead"
ReplyDeleteCan you identify a single comment/commentator who has ever written that here? No, you can't. Because it's never happened before. Agreeing with K-mac does not equal advocacy for genocide, on any scale, or even violence, of any kind, so let's drop the hysterical posturing, shall we?
BTW Steve, I'm going to have to write you another IOU...

ReplyDeleteAnd who are you, Bobby, Frank Sinatra?
