Quote of the Day (David Brooks, on the 4 Types of E-mail Lists)

“If Aristotle were alive, he would note that there are four types of E-mail lists. There are lists that remind you that the sender went to a better college than you did. There are lists that remind you that he has a better job than you do. There are those that remind you that he has more sex than you do. And finally, there are those that remind you that he is better than you in every respect: spiritually, professionally, and socially.”—Conservative columnist and TV political commentator David Brooks, “Shouts and Murmurs: The A-List E-List,” The New Yorker, reprinted in Fierce Pajamas: An Anthology of Humor Writing from “The New Yorker,” edited by Henry Finder (2001)
