I don't want to be in the business of posting my Sfist stuff on here, but I thought this was relevant in light of this week's big news:

Man, that Jamie Lynn Spears story is tremendous. Just stupendously tremendous. It's like the movie "Idiocracy" (which, yes, CJ I've seen)-- It's pretty bad, but it's central premise is that civilization is not "evolving" but "devolving." The reason is because while all the well-educated, intelligent folks aren't having lots of kids because they're too busy with their careers and self-actualizing, all the dumb-ass redneck hillbillies are. In other words, the Spears family.
