WITH OIL AT $50 A BARREL

I think of Ferraris the way a monk thinks of Britney Spears, and probably also like the monk, I watch the video, muttering "tut-tut."

I know our regular readers have seen it, but for the uninitiated, the subtitle for the blog is explained here.

Some completely superflouous points, in the context of writing largely because I have a keyboard, to wit:

a)As an aesthetic professional, I must responsibly point out that Brittany Spears is only slightly attractive, and I mean physically, not including points off for breathtaking unoriginality - her insipid expression and amorphous features are there to suggest not attractiveness as such, but that celebrity is a commodity purchasable by middle class young girls. I am constrained to use an awkward expression- desexualized pseudoerotic posturing- to get a sense of how remarkably usual this woman really is. Why does this bother me? Would I not sleep with such a woman while one or both of us had enjoyed several Odwalla lime and tequillas? I think my only point is that this person is wholly a creature of market penetration, and I see untold unsold women in my local coffee shop who far outclass, outsex and outstyle this celebro-trollop.

b) In (randomly choosen) FAVOR, of the Ferrari, the subject of the end of mass-transit commercial aviation came up again recently. Let us consider the vast subsidies, opportunity costs and real estate loss that underwrite commercial aviation, and instead buy everyone in the San Francisco a Ferrari, if they promise never to fly again. I am not entirely certain we would be behind, economically, environmentally, or in terms of transportation utility. Certainly sales of Gucci sunglasses would increase, even more sex would occur in San Francisco, and it would greatly enhance the Collective Unconscious being of California.
