I am in the process of selling my house.  It's a very big house (with lots and lots of amenities), clearly something that appeals to high income people.  The good thing is that it will make it possible for us to get rid of our mortgage.  This is particularly great since interest rates are about to go through the roof  (which will tank the market for the next 5 years).  The bad thing is that upper incomes growing at a 15%-20% annual rate (which is paralleled by income stagnation for everyone else).  This means that a house like this will clearly be worth several times what it is today in 10 to 15 years.

After a lot of war talk last night, the Republicans are getting back to the "compassionate conservatism" theme -- a clever and probably necessary strategy for Bush two months from Election Day when more Americans think his opponent understands people like them. Helping to make Bush's case: Education Secretary Rod Paige. (You may remember Paige's outrageous comments earlier this year likening the nation's largest teachers union to a "terrorist organization.")

Left Behind deconstructed

Left Behind deconstructed 12/14/2003 09:51 PM
"Left Behind" is an immensely popular science fiction series about the sinners left behind on earth after good Christians are swept up in the rapture. Over at Slacktivist, a blogger has been dissecting the book in two- and three-page chunks, tearing apart the assumptions, fallacies and curiously compelling heresies in the story.

Charlie Stross and I just finished "Appeals Court," the sequel to Jury Service, which Argosy magazine will publish bound together in January, in a fix-up novel called "Rapture of the Nerds." "Appeals Court" is, in part, a response to "Left Behind": a story about a world where the only hominids who haven't ascended to the post-human cloudmind are reactionaries, missionaries, and religious fundamentalists.

Here's a little chunk of "Appeals Court," so you can see what I mean:

The ant-colony has taken the entire Atlantic coast of the US, has marched on Georgia and west to the Mississippi. It is an anarchist colony, whose females lay eggs without regard for any notional Queen, and it has entered its eighth year of life, which is middle-aged for a normal colony, but may be just the beginning for the Hypercolony.

The God-botherers have no treaty with the ants, but have come to view them as another proof of the impending end of the world. Anything that is not contained in chink-free, seamless plastic and rock is riddled in ant-tunnels within hours. They've learned to establish airtight seals around their homes and workplaces, to subject themselves to stinging insecticide showers before clearing a vestibule, to listen for the tupperware burp whenever they seal their children in their space-suits and send them off to Bible classes.

The ants have eaten their way through most of the nematode species beneath the soil, compromised all but the most plasticized root-systems of the sickening flora (the gasoline refining forests are curiously symbiotic with the colony -- anarchist supercolonies like living cheek-by-mouth-part with a lot of hydocarbons). They've eaten the bee-hives and wasp-nests, and they've laid waste to any comestible not tinned and sealed, leaving the limping Americans with naught but a few billion tons of processed food to eat before their supply bottoms out.

The American continent is a fairy tale that the cloudmind tells itself whenever it doubts its collective decision to abandon humanity. The left-behinds there spent their lives waiting for an opportunity to pick up a megaphone and organize crews with long poles to go digging through the ruins of civilization for tinned goods. Presented with their opportunity in the aftermath of the Geek Rapture, they are happy as evangelical pigs in shit -- plenty to rail against, plenty of fossil fuel, plenty of firearms.

What more could they possibly need?

and here's Slacktivist on "Left Behind":

The first words of Left Behind are "Rayford Steele," the protagonist's name.

It sounds like a porn star's name -- and in a sense it is. The Left Behind series is dispensational porno, but it's more than that. One of the most disturbing things about this book is the way LaHaye and Jenkins portray men, women and the relationships between them.

Note that Tim LaHaye's wife is something of a professional misogynist. She runs the 500,000-member "Concerned Women for America" -- jokingly referred to by its critics as "Ladies Against Women." For years, while Beverly LaHaye's husband pastored a church in San Diego, Mrs. L. spent most of her time 3,000 miles away, in Washington, D.C., running a large organization committed to, among other things, telling women they should stay at home and sacrifice their careers for their husbands. She is not an ironic woman and doesn't seem to find any of this inconsistent. (Nor, as I found out firsthand, does she appreciate jokes about the Freudian implications of the view from her L'Enfante Plaza office window. Sometimes the Washington Monument is just a cigar.)

No Samoyed Left Behind

No Samoyed Left Behind 04/02/2005 03:58 PM

Alex and I are working out way up the East Coast now with a new companion:  a 9-month-old Samoyed puppy named "Sammy".  He wore out his welcome with a family in Norfolk, Virginia and is coming to Boston under my "No Samoyed Left Behind" initiative.  Samoyeds are unpopular for fairly good reasons.  Most people who want a big dog want one that will be aggressive and attack other humans.  Hence the Top 10 American Kennel Club breed registristrations include German Shepherds, Rottweilers, etc. (Pit Bulls are not an AKC breed.)  A second category of popular big dog is the obedience champ, e.g., Labs and Goldens.  These breeds are smart and make an owner feel good by hanging on his every word.  The Arctic breeds are big and smart (as measured by their ability to solve puzzles that reward them with things that they like, e.g., food) but they don't see any particular reason to listen to most humans and they aren't interested in attacking humans.  Samoyeds are easily bored.  Especially when young they seem to need constant companionship and entertainment, either from a person or another dog.  If they get bored they find ways to entertain themselves.  Unfortunately what is entertaining to a Samoyed usually is not entertaining to his or her owner.  Digging and chewing are popular pastimes as is destroying the rugs and furniture.

Sammy was living with a family in Norfolk.  It sounded like an ideal environment with a stay-at-home wife and kids aged 6 and 3 plus a backyard with pool.  Sammy, however, wanted to wrestle with the kids non-stop and they were really too young and small to deliver the required pounding to 45 lbs. of solid puppy muscle.  The wife had her hands full with the kids.  So Sammy was left alone in the backyard and would dig ("they did in the winter to keep warm; they dig in the summer to keep cool; they dig in the fall and spring to keep in practice" George's breeder used to say).  He was sent to sleep-away obedience camp for two weeks and came back with a good report and knowledge of some commands, though not necessarily a lot of interest in obeying them.

So... now he is coming up to New England where I am going to let Alex wear him out for a month or two and then find him a home either in the suburbs where there is a big fenced yard and some other dogs or in the city with someone who works at home and can keep the dog with him or her at all times for mutual companionship.  No Samoyed should live in the South and no Samoyed should be left behind...

[The question of naming arises.  I like "Ralph" better than "Sammy".  And there is a terrier in Manhattan named "Sizzler" whose name could be well applied to this little bundle of energy.  Any other ideas?]
