Radio Nowhere posted:Bill seems to suffer what I notice from a lot of boomers, they view the generation after them as lazy and spoiled. Great every generation does this, so what's their proof? After anecdotal evidence about smartphones and not being outside more they have nothing! Basic things like cost of living, education costs, actual retirement tilt way more in their favor; so all they have to throw at us is iPhones and the perception we don't work hard enough or something. "Tiger Mom" just boosts Maher's view of this, just like that 3 minute sidetrack with PJ O'Rourke the other week. I've been reading PJ's new book and yeah, it's a boomer thing. PJ has a good take on Boomers. Despite being a right winge,r or probably in part because of it, he has an acute awareness of the ridiculous fake leftist bullshit his generation got up to and their weird smug superiority/judgement. Unfortunately he's not immune to it either, but his book does a pretty good job laying out what the gently caress is up with Boomers, how they got that why, why it sucked, but also why it wasn't too bad. PJ's "kids these days" poo poo has always been sympathetic, or at least aware of the stupid poo poo Boomer kids got up to. loving Boomers man. They can't remember any songs recorded after 1986 and they think they're so cool for ruining the world and wrecking the economy beause they had the Beatles. Despite being left wing, I highly recommend PJ O'Rourke's bookse because 1) He's the republican Hunter S. Thompson and B) He's one of the last bastion's of pre-Tea party conservatism. Seriously, if you enjoy political humor/satire check out Parliament of Whores, Republican Party Reptile, and Holidays in Hell. See the glory of the Cocaine Republican. A sadly lost species of political rival we should mourn in this Michelle Bachman era.
