The Stupid Rays!! It Burnses Us!! It Burnses!!

Dan Drezner reads something truly awful:

danieldrezner.com: In the Chronicle of Higher Education, Mathew H. Gendle engages in one of the more useless acts of self-flagellation about globalization I've seen in quite a while...

The truly scary thing is that Mathew H. Gendle seems to genuinely believe that it would be a good thing to diminish demand for products made in developing countries, and genuinely believes that most clothes he buys are made by exploited child- or slave-labor. Yet he keeps buying them anyway because he has "a mortgage and child-care expenses." A stupid little Nietzschean wannabe who eagerly indulges in what he believes to be grave moral turpitude in order to save a few bucks.

But the stupidity rayses--they are too much for us. We--Daniel and I--and the Precious of course--must hide from the stupidity rayses that burnes. We must hide deep beneath the rootses of the mountains, and eat raw fishses...
