Why eggheads can't get elected President

Why eggheads can't get elected President 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

People in Cambridge, Massachusetts often complain about the apparent lack of intellectual and academic achievement displayed by our top politicians.  A Harvard PhD in an appropriate field ought to make one more qualified for any job.  Why then do Americans elect to high office people who sound as though they were strangers to the world of the university?

A glimmer of an explanation emerged when a friend told me about the loud argument she'd had with her father, a humanities professor at a university here in Boston.  Professor X, an immigrant from Europe, stated that Osama bin Laden was one of his heroes because he was a champion of the working man.  Daughter X asked for some clarification as to how a Saudi who had inherited $250+ million from his daddy could be said to represent the interests of the average worker.  Professor X noted that Americans deserved to be attacked on September 11th because the U.S. exploited workers in poor countries and that Osama represented those workers.  Even those who believe that Professor X is correct will admit that his opinions are out of sync with those of the average American voter.

How about the students?  An increasing number of graduate students, especially in technical and scientific departments, are foreigners.  A kid who grows up in a Muslim country where the mood is relentlessly anti-American can't be expected to abandon his antipathy to the American government and the American lifestyle merely because he is so excited to be studying here at U.S. government expense.  If you wanted to attend an anti-Israel rally 10 years ago the local university would have been the most likely place to visit.  Those rallies turned into anti-Jewish events 5 years ago and are today places to denounce the current U.S. government and the millions of Americans who voted for it.

For better or worse American universities have become our main local venues for displays of anti-American feeling.  Perhaps this is one reason that our most successful politicians don't sound as though they've spent too much time on campus.

[I'm off to Oaxaca, Mexico now and will be there on November 2 during what, no matter who wins, promises to be something of a national tragedy.  I managed to be away for all of September 2001 in Nova Scotia and am beginning to feel lucky to have escaped our nation's most painful moments.]

Is The Human Billboard Tattoo Working?

Is The Human Billboard Tattoo Working? 12/09/2003 03:51 AM
During the boom years, Outpost.com had a commercial where they joked about tattooing the outpost.com log on the heads of babies to "get 'em while they're young." Real life imitated satire last year when people started offering to auction off various body parts for advertising tattoos on eBay. However, it sounds like companies were still a bit wary of agreeing to dot com style stunts. That phase passed, however, and in April, a man successf ully sold the back of his head for an advertising tattoo for $7,000 (for five years, which seems like a pretty cheap deal for all involved). At the time, we pointed out that the hype surrounding the story from the company (CI Host) seemed a bit overblown. They claimed that it was making news everywhere - but the only news we could find (and we're pretty good at finding news around here) was the press release the company issued. So, 9 months later, I'm going to take their claims with a grain of salt when they say that the advertising campaign of the man walking around with the CI Host logo tattooed to his head has directly led to 500 new customers. Signing up for a webhost isn't exactly an impulse buy - and in the rare instance where it is an impulse buy, it's because you're sitting at a computer and have a domain name you want to host. You don't see a strange man with a corporate tattoo on his head walking down the street, and suddenly decide it's time to rush home and sign up with that company to host your website. Well, at least I wouldn't.
