"You're either on the bus or off the bus."

It's an old hippie saying that sprang to mind when I looked at this photo (taken a week ago in Madison). What exactly did it mean? From Tom Wolfe's "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" : [Ken] Kesey's explicit teachings were all cryptic, metaphorical; parables, aphorisms: "You're either on the bus or off the bus." "Feed the hungry bee," "Nothing lasts," "See with...

Bear Market Victory

Bear Market Victory Losing money still isn't a crime. Bad judgment is still not illegal. That was the message from Tuesday's acquittal of two Bear Stearns hedge fund managers accused of securities fraud amid last year's subprime meltdown. The verdict was a welcome rejection of the political class's banker baiting, which seems to have infected the Justice Department. The Wall Street trial had become...

Mad Men?

Steve Sailer writes: While Waugh wore his reactionary heart on his sleeve in Brideshead , Weiner maintains plausible deniability in Mad Men by methodically depicting how unenlightened the upper-middle class WASPs of a half century ago were. We in the audience are scandalized to note, for example, that even the most respectable parents in 1960 devoted more time to socializing with other adults than...

This teaser slogan for Jonathan Parker's (Untitled) is straight out of Tom Wolfe's "The Painted Word," to wit: "Not 'seeing is believing,' you ninny, but 'believing is seeing,' for Modern Art has become completely literary: the paintings and other works exist only to illustrate the text." I love that Corinth Fillns believes enough in people's interest in seeing a 61-year-old Vittorio...
