Tuesday, August 26, 2008 In between drafting countless cover letters, I put out this Summer's Doublethink. As always, there is much to love: a profile of Sam's Club wonks Ross and Reihan, John Schwenkler's raw milk exposé, and Gary Schmitt's meditation on the movie High Noon. Read the whole thing. I too have an article in the mag--it's a profile of the fabulous Amy Alkon, the "Advice Goddess": Amy Alkon doesn't care if she hurts your feelings. Every week in "Ask the Advice Goddess," a column syndicated in over 100 papers across America, Alkon delivers hilariously hard-nosed counsel to thousands of clueless souls." For a man, it's the size of a woman's heart that counts--until her thighs approach the size of small Volkswagens," she tells one housewife who worries her husband no longer finds her attractive. To a guy who keeps dating the "wrong" girl, Alkon opines: "Mistakes do happen. If you make one, admit it, don't take it to the movies every Saturday night."
