Double dose of Lileks today, just because I feel like it. This one from yesterday when he's describing guys with college degrees and guys without:
The mobsters and grifters and roués of the demimonde didn’t have a college degree; they had money and juice. But both came up against the college boys – the government men, the tax lawyers, the accountants. The best stories always end in jail and shuttered doors, and the men who turn the keys always die in bed. And their obituaries describe their degrees.
Stay in school, kids!

And then you've got this jewel from today about the new George Lucas Ego Stroke (also known as Episode III):
You would not want to fight an army of a pissed off Wookies with shotguns. I bet they drink, too. They’re probably always drunk all the time, which is why their language seems so incoherent; for all we know they’re not saying anything at all, just yelling. Because they’re all hammered.
I just thought they had some poop in their butt-fur and couldn't find a rug to scoot on.
