The Scene and Herd

I LIKE the image of Iggy singing opera in the garden…

I guess it takes The New York Times to shamelessly profile the old money coursing through Iggy’s veins in a positive light. Ha. I know nobody over here is ever going to do it. We like to keep quiet about all that, unless we’re crafting an attack ad.

Seriously, what is the problem everybody in Canada seems to have with wealth and Harvard? These are good things, no?

The ensuing response (the comment section - don’t miss the comment section) is hilarious. 

I’m not all that sure that the article is condescending, but even if it is, um, so? It’s The New York Times. It’s a really condescending newspaper. And yeah, I am happy that they’re talking about my favourite politician. Does that make me needy and pathetic? Or just honest with myself!

It’s more fun to be me than to be you, I swear.

Wouldn’t anybody be pleased about a write-up in The New York Times? Um, a New Yorker even? (wink)

We need to get over ourselves. I like Canada’s little, weirdo insignificant role in the world. Just makes it easier to sneak up into world cultural domination. BAM! No one sees it coming.
