Astrology
Crooked Timber is aghast that a newspaper as, get this, reputable as the New York Times would run a story discussing the current Democratic field in astrological terms. One might say, if only the Times used so rigorous a system of thought for their editorial line on global warming or foreign policy.
If the implied view is anything other than that astrology is too silly to be taken seriously, isn't this insulting to every reader of the NYT who has even a high school level of scientific literacy? No doubt there is some ironic postmodern stance that is appropriate here, but I can't quite locate it.
Typical Ares.
