Yankee Bull****!!

Well, yeah. Any math student knows New Yorker = Yankee Bull****.

while in south andros, i re-discovered the new yorker. *the bahamian's
home where we stayed was stocked with old new yorker magazines. the
writing and info in the articles were superb...so much so that i
subscribed.

i readily admit it ain't reader's digest or four-wheeler magazine, but
it'll do. some yankee offerings, and even some yankees, turn out to be
instructive and tolerable.

The distressing thing about "The New Yorker" is that its consistently
high standards of writing and editing lend credence to the vacuous
(though nevertheless unaccountably tenacious) myth of some sort of
cultural superiority pervading New Yorkers.....and/or their obligatory
purgatory.

It's a ****in' conundrum is what it is. Many another publication of
equal (and sometimes superior) merit fails to elicit the same kind of
bedizened luster to its place of origin.
