As Far As I Can Tell

Maybe I can relate because we’re both trapped in advertising land, but lately I’ve been really enjoying The House of Wigs. From November 4th:

OK yesterday I’m reminded that to be an American is to be both arrogant and incompetent (you�d think one would cancel out the other! so weird!), and the problem is then I come in to work at an ad agency. And if you�re already thinking “our country is fuckola’d,” the last place you want to walk into is an ad agency. The last thing you want to have to do is sit in a meeting and talk about how to coerce people into buying more processed cheese, because then it�s really hard to dodge the fact that you are The Problem. Yes I’m using second-person to distance myself from the horrible truth — it’s the magic of writing.
