    I'll never get the intelligent design thing or the Nixon apologias, but I thought the column was pretty thoughtful and dead-on about the unreality with which people approach their financial lives these days.


    If you missed it, he was being critical of his friend's outlook and where it had led her. But what cracked me up is that he strings to consecutive thoughts together that just don't make sense. Idea one: learn a useful skill. Idea two: I was a freelance writer in Hollywood.


    Okay, well so much for consistency.

    "Revolve," not "rotate."

    @freedc: Yes, but it only does one of those things (revolves) with respect to the sun.


    It rotates with respect to its axis, not anything external like the sun.

    Dear University of Vermont students,


    Ben Stein was my commencement speaker. You won't be missing much.


    Best,

    I used to like Ben Stein until I actually heard him speak seriously about politics, the economy, and evolution. Now I know he's a fucking moron.


    "Bueller?" was the most intelligent thing to ever come out of that mouth.

    @seyswho: If you ever saw "Win Ben Stein's Money," you'd know he's no fucking moron, but yes, knowing his background as a Nixon speech writer, it isn't surprising to think that a Gawker reader would simplify a political disagreement down to calling the other guy dumb. They've been doing it since 2001; why stop now?

    @seyswho:

    Did you ever see him school a motherfucker on Win Ben Stein's Money? Seriously. He wrecked house in the grand finale where you had to answer 10 hard questions in less than a minute. I used to watch that show every day and I only ever saw B.S. lose once or twice.


    He is a trivia machine!

    @sample032: @Botswana Meat Commission FC: It depends on your definition of moron. There are a lot of people with vast arrays of trivia in their brains who are still morons. If you don't believe me, there's a little New York comic book convention this weekend you could attend for proof.
