Posted on Sunday, October 23, 2011 by Sean Patrick Hazlett

Who Are the One Percent?

Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2011 by Sean Patrick Hazlett

As the Occupiers are busy sharpening their pitchforks for their next reenactment of Children of the Corn, I thought it might be instructive to share a nice little tool from the Wall Street Journal. The tool allows you to enter … Continue reading →

Who Are the Occupiers?

Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2011 by Sean Patrick Hazlett

Aaron Rutkoff at the Wall Street Journal published an article yesterday summarizing a scientific poll of the protestors. The results are relatively unsurprising as they reveal that the plurality of the protestors are young and supportive of left-wing causes. They are also disproportionately un- or … Continue reading →

Occupy Wall Street: Understanding the Movement

Posted on Saturday, October 15, 2011 by Sean Patrick Hazlett

In previous posts about the movement, I poked fun at the seemingly absurd and logically inconsistent demands posted by one member of the movement. I even came up with the sarcastic nickname, “Occupussies” to rival the similarly lewd label of “Teabagger” … Continue reading →

Posted on Friday, July 29, 2011 by Sean Patrick Hazlett

Today, I discovered an interesting test on The Economist website. The website, testyourvocab.com, is hosting a serious research project to measure how many words the average English speaker knows. You can take the test here. Given that the English language … Continue reading →
