    @lobstr: I think my all time fave was when they went through celebrity garbage and then had it analyzed by a nutritionist, a psychologist, and others...they never said whose trash it was, just gave you clues..*awesome*

    @valhalla_i_am_coming: They had a lot of brilliant classics, my favorite being how they made a fake Tiger-Beat-type teen giggle mag called Republican Beat and got Newt Gingrich to pose with a tshirt..

    Seeruscker? I'm encouraged by the fact that even Kurt Anderson makes typos when he Facebooks! (And if he'd like to meet other seersucker-lovin' duds, he should attend the Municipal Arts Society annual meeting.)

    I think it's kinda cute that he was so taken by Mrs. Obama. He's certainly not the only one.

    I don't have that much of a problem with Howard "I State The Obvious" Kurtz but I hate his hair. I have honestly never hated anyone's hair though I have been shocked by it.

    In reply to It's Not a Crippling Recession. It's a Learning Experience!
    Being unemployed is a learning experience for those who were already well-off to begin with. My mother, who subsists on social security benefits, has been applying for jobs for a year and a half now. She is facing down the prospect that she may not find any employment anytime soon. She recently asked to borrow money from me because she'd been reduced to buying those 3 for $1 frozen burritos for all her meals. These sorts of articles are so frustrating to me because the people who write them are so totally out of touch with reality. Out of touch in a way that isn't even remotely entertaining or charming.

    In reply to It's Not a Crippling Recession. It's a Learning Experience!
    Kurt Andersen has done some great work in satire, but the idea that he knows enough about America to deliver reliable commentary on the whole freaking thing (as a nation, economy, whatever) just beggars the imagination. If Kurt Andersen tried to "sum up" the attitudes of any group more expansive than the people who live on either side of his apartment unit, I'd get additional sources as backup.

    Rushkoff does seem to be thinking big and asking an important question, though.
