#22 AIRSHIP: You are almost right when you say,

"When you're more intelligent than average, you have to eventually come to grips with the fact that the world is run by those who are less intelligent than average."

I believe the world is run by incredibly smart people with an authoritarian/sociopathic bent.

Now, Bush is not smart nor is he really in charge of anything, but he is authoritarian and he is sociopathic. He is laughable but useful to his puppet-masters.

The actual enforcement of irrational fear-and-control-based public policy is effected by cowed bureaucrats and knuckle-dragging goons in an odd symbiosis.

The smart people stay behind the scenes and truly control things. Because they're smart.

If the models were Dick and Bush and they were being waterboarded and mauled by dogs on the runway then you would have something of value.

Why would Iran launch an all-out doomsday barrage knowing that Israel has hundreds of nukes pointed at them? It would only happen if Iran knew those nukes were on the way.

Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee will be weighing in on this vital matter I'm sure.

Dubai is Las Vegas writ large.

The major industries are: Banking( money-laundering and usury), Blood Oil(ditto) and Whores.

It's a nice place to visit if you're a Rothschild, a Dick Cheney or a pimp.

There's also alot of money to be made in construction.
(But not if you are the poor bloke from say, the Philippines, slaving away under the lash sending a meager remittance to your family back in Mindanao.)

Las Vegas has a faux Paris, a fake New York, a falso Venezia, and was founded by death-dealing master-criminals.

But it has no Lyon.

Vive Lyon!

Dubai Pthph!!!

Emily, if you can knit and felt a fetal pig I will purchase a gross. For instructive purposes of course. Maybe some cuddling. We'll see how cute they are.

I could never sit through an episode of Dr. Who, but thanks to boing boing I now know a Dalek from a Tardis. Thank you Whovians. I'm enriched by your experience.

What a great idea. We should do that in America with sacks of genetically modified corn.

You mean to tell me that the largest python in captivity is equivalent in value to seven lousy kangaroos? I like kangaroos but I think a cost/benefit analysis is in order here. On second thought those roos can produce a lot of joeys which could then be, you know...

Schmucks read magazines. This sort of advertising is schmuck-bait.

My first thought upon reading this was that I had to read the comments. "Those boing boingers will lay waste to this ridiculous charade," I thought to myself. Well doff your hats and take a bow you ingenious and resourceful commenters you.

The system enriches those who lie on command and seeks to ruin those who speak truth to power. Joe Klein is undoubtedly a very wealthy man.

Don't you get it? Joe Klein is a propagandist and Time magazine has been a propaganda organ for decades.

Go ahead and feel betrayed by Klein and Time, but it's like feeling betrayed by the endless intentional falsehoods of our president and others.

Klein is not "getting it all wrong." He, like the president, is a professional liar.
