I'm think the love/hate for the ivy league occupy the same space. I see it less as a spectrum and more a venn diagram with general populous sitting rather firmly in the overlap. The MSM, on the other hand, is so in the tank for the ivy league, they can't help but care about and run countless stories about them, while also taking advantage of the public's desire to see the rich/elite behave like everybody else and worse.
Meanwhile, the people in the "love" category can sit back and tell themselves "They hate us for our freedoms" and be done with it.
Robert Langdon copied and pasted the little paragraph from the bilious website into his text editor. Why Good Morning America? His hand, trembling, moved the mouse, clicked, and hit the space-bar. Suddenly, it was all clear: Suze Or man. "She’s a man, baby!" he screamed. It was the beginning of an investigation that would lead him into the dark underworld of Roman Catholic intersex lesbian financial advising.
I only know this from TVNewser and had to look for her twitter, so please don't think any less of me, but Orman has been heavily campaigning to win the Mediabistro poll since the beginning.
That Jessica Coen tweet sums up everything that's wrong with Twitter. I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ANY OF THE INANE STUPIDITY THAT FLUTTERS AROUND HER BRAINPAN!
@MrInBetween: Now that I have recovered somewhat from the apoplectic fit that I had after reading your comment, may I implore you to never, ever speak of Gawker Editrix Goddess Jessica in such heretic terms again. This tweet of hers is some anomaly.
Jessica Coen and inane stupidity are sworn enemies, I assure you.
@MrInBetween: Dammit, i went back and read that tweet again. It is indeed truly awful. What the heck happened to Jessica? But it is just some anomaly. I'll keep repeating that as I cry myself to sleep.
@Wrapitup: I dunno, she's got a point. Like when it's sort of warm out but raining? Raincoats make you sweaty and frizzy but sans you get goosebumps and stuff! This is an important topic that deserves attention.
I've been kinda half-defending Meghan--in my head anyway. She's trying to make the Repub Mean Machine kinder and gentler, but now, sadly I must hate her.
It's quite surprising to see all these Gawker commenters claiming to be satisfied customers of Suze Orman's. What exactly do you suppose is going on here?
"But dollar-cost averaging - steadily investing in the stock market over time as prices rise and fall - is generally regarded as better than the alternative, which is trying to time the market"
No. The alternative is all in once you have the money (this is why a 401k isn't DCA; you don't have the money). When people do the math on DCA, they find all it doesn't help because you generally miss out on gains.
@sample032: And isn't dollar cost averaging timing the market, anyway? If you thought it was going up, you'd buy everything today. Dollar cost averaging is "I think I should invest, but I'm scared that it will go down." (Hint: maybe you're in the wrong asset class if you're worried)
@sample032: I read that study. It generated its figures by looking at a pretty atypical period in the market (1996-1999), which just shows how easy it is to lie with statistics.

Can't you just take a motherfucking Ambien and a shot of bourbon like a normal person and shut the fuck up?
