The great Roy Edroso has a post up about the latest load of crap excreted by Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve, one of the most despicable books of recent years.
There's also a link to a quiz Murray has concocted that purports to assess the reader's isolation from Real America. You know, the land of NASCAR, American Idol, chain restaurants, and so forth.
The quiz itself is crap that would get an 'F' from any statistics instructor, but in the interest of science, I went ahead and took it. I scored a 30, which makes me "A first-generation upper-middle-class person with middle-class parents. Range: 11–80. Typical: 33"
My Chesterfield-smoking, Schlitz-drinking, high-school dropout father woulda been proud.
