Deep Thoughts From Ann Althouse, Episode 1

April 25th, 2007 4 Comments

Althouse:

You know how Al Gore is always talking about his "carbon footprint" or whatever? Here’s a calculation I’d like to see. Maybe somebody here can figure it out. How much is one’s carbon footprint increased by the consumption of food? Isn’t everyone who is overweight overconsuming?

To quote Eric Alterman: "Just what the hell those [New York] Times editors could have been thinking is way above my
limited intellectual abilities to ascertain."

    I won’t read Althouse. However, I’m interested to know whether she managed to work in an “Invented the Internet!!1!” quip. That’s the only thing that could possibly be dumber than an “Al Gore is fat” jape.

    It says a lot about Althouse’s (lack of) writing skills that I’ve read that post a couple times and still can’t figure out if she’s serious or not. Either way, you can tell that she’s really proud of herself for thinking of it. Never mind that it’s based on a very obvious logical fallacy (a person’s weight by itself tells us nothing about their eating habits), or that no one’s going to mistake Althouse’s figure for Scarlett Johansson’s anytime soon (I hate to even bring that up, but she set herself up for it)
