Marla Maples, Ralph Waldo Emerson!

The mind of the upper-class Times:
We make no bones about it.

We regard the New York Times' page A3 (print editions only) as the most instructive page in all of American journalism. It's where you go to marvel at the (upper-class) mind of the (upper-class) Times, and perhaps at the newspaper's readers.

Today's A3 was especially rich. We'll plan to tell you why tomorrow. For homework, you should read this profile of Marla Maples from yesterday's paper. It was written by Hilary Howard and of course includes plenty of photos.

This isn't a criticism of Maples. It's a criticism of the mind of the Times. On this morning's page A3, that perhaps slightly vapid upper-class mind continued on from there.

  1. Thoreau wrote that whether your belongings were from a hovel or a grand estate, they looked sad and ephemeral as viewed rolling down the road on the back of a cart.

    I was gratified to see that the commenters were all fairly kind.

  3. From Steve Benen at MaddowBlog:

    "Yesterday, it happened again, when Trump signed the Women's Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, which directs the Treasury to honor the 100th anniversary of American women getting the right to vote through currency. After signing the measure -- which passed both the House and Senate unanimously -- the president decided to take a moment to reflect on what he considered important: his own awesomeness.

    "I am curious why wasn't it done a long time ago and also, well, I guess the answer to that is because now I am president and we get things done.

    "We get a lot of things done that nobody else got done."

    Well, if Trump is "curious" why other presidents didn't sign the Women's Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, I can help. In this country, the women's suffrage movement led to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1919, and its ratification in 1920.

    No one tried to honor the centennial of this because -- and this is important -- centennials mark the hundredth anniversary of things. In order to recognize the centennial of something that happened in 1920, we had to wait until around 2020, because that's how time works."

  11. Its a miracle that I am alive today. I encounter HPV VIRUS (HSV1/2) for good four (4) years, six (6) months with my calculations, before I meet the great Dr. AGBOMIAN. I am Tina Richard from Fresno California, united state of America and I was affected with hpv virus.Hvs is a viral infection cause by the Hpv virus, marked by painful, watery blister in the skin or mucous membrane or on the genitals. This was what I suffered for good four years. I have visited CVS Pharmacy in Fresno for treatment but no improvement. I meet Dr.AGBOMIAN online while I was searching for herpes cure I read a testimony about his work. I give a try that now becomes a testimony in my life. I contacted Dr.AGNOMIAN WhatsApp +2347040843115 or E-mail: Dragbomianherbalcured77@gmail.com

  19. Life has not been easy with me after my marriage was broken when my husband filled for a divorced but I thank God for using LORD ZAKUZA who's like a God on Earth to get my broken marriage restored with his powerful spell. I suffered for depression for 6 months but today, I am so happy for getting to know LORD ZAKUZA for his spell has really made me to believe that of a truth spells are real and they work. I adhered to every bit of instructions given to me by LORD ZAKUZA for he promised me that he will make me happy and proud and really, all that happened and my husband came back to me begging me for forgiveness within 48 hours after I got in touch with him and now we are perfectly bonded again for life. I can boldly say to everyone out there that LORD ZAKUZA spells is really the best. I'm forever grateful to him till the end of time. So, you can get connected with him via Email: lordzakuza7@gmail.com or his website: https://lordzakuzaspells.com or WhatsApp +1 (740) 573-9483.
