LAUGHING AT JOEL STEIN
Jim Treacher pokes fun–and pokes hard–at the LATimes’ Gen-X Narcissus.
Instapunk examines Stein’s desperate humor.
And James Lileks weighs in:
Picking on an average Joel Stein column is like arranging your old Powerball tickets in chronological order; it’s something to do, but the effort seems misplaced. As far as I can tell he seems a nice enough fellow, certainly not full of boiling bile - rather, he has the certainty you often find in 17 year olds whose Social Studies teacher just assigned a Howard Zinn book for the class.
And Stephen Spruiell digs up another of Stein’s unfunny, anti-military parodies that he penned for the New Yorker last summer.
