The New Yorker Whiteboy Watch, October 15 issue
As I had fearfully suspected, the October 8 vag revolution was a one-shot deal.
However, I got 100% on the 2008 Campaign Quiz!
And: Philip Roth continues to be exceedingly boring.
And: Yet another of those weird/cute Oregon ad inserts. Are there truly no people of a non-white complexion in the entire state? The whiteness of those ads stuns me every time.
Full disclosure: I really like both Portland and Seattle. And Olympia, though I must confess I’ve never actually been. But I figure I’ve listened to enough Oly music to like it.
Stats:
Talk of the Town:
by men: 3
by women: 2
rest of mag:
by men: 12
by women: 1
(The NYerWbW is a regular feature whereby my mother and I keep track of the male/female breakdown in The New Yorker magazine.)

Have you ever driven through Pennsylvania? You’d think proximity to NY/NJ would mix things up a little but its just not so. Can also be in the running for white-ist state in the union.
Is it OK if I still like NYker magazine?
yes! I love the New Yorker! Which is why I feel so free to criticize it…
So good to hear from another who is bored by Philip Roth!!!!
