Trade policy, crazy conservatives, and UFOs
I have no idea what the three things in my post title have in common. All I know is that this morning I checked out my primer of U.S. trade policy at Amazon.com and discovered the following five books under the "Customers who bought items like this also bought" category: F.U.B.A.R.: America's Right-Wing Nightmare by Sam SederReaders are warmly encouraged to explain this set of rather odd correlations. posted by Dan on 09.16.06 at 08:59 AM Comments: Explanation: artificial intelligence has more to do with artifice than intellect. posted by: Dave on 09.16.06 at 08:59 AM [permalink]A great sign, there, Dan: those that like your trade policy ideas are also concerned with the problem of extraterrestrial life. I for one am convinced there's a connection: its those flippin' ETs that're keeping a Svengali-like hold on our brains and keeping us from deciding if we should go "fair" or "free". posted by: St. James the Lesser on 09.16.06 at 08:59 AM [permalink]They each have a concern with the invisibility of the ineffable. bs posted by: Ben Stewart on 09.16.06 at 08:59 AM [permalink]The "good" conservatives want to re-take the Republican Party so they can conquer space by trading with aliens.

It's possible that you share a lot of readers with Achenbach, and that Achenbach shares a lot of readers with other UFO authors (he did write a book on the subject, Captured by Aliens). A second-order effect? posted by: mschrist on 09.16.06 at 08:59 AM [permalink]The Koran expressly Commands World Jihad and World Domination for Islam. Here are the verses: People who hate conservatives are space-cadets? posted by: Mike H. on 09.16.06 at 08:59 AM [permalink]According to the old Whatshisname theory, the simplest explanation is best: Amazon coughed up a hairball. posted by: Larry on 09.16.06 at 08:59 AM [permalink]you're apt to see strange results when the sample size is small, perhaps even miniscule;) posted by: david on 09.16.06 at 08:59 AM [permalink]Post a Comment: |
