...doubt the consumer economy’s perceived location at the core of Americana is what has lead many environmentalists to duplicitously suggest that people will not have to give it up. But there is nothing axiomatic about consumerism in the American ethos. It is, in fact, a relatively recent addition to the American canon of values. Assuming that it is unassailable and that attacking it will doom any environmental program to marginality is to confer more legitimacy onto it than it actually deserves. There is an old Yankee maxim that goes “use it up, wear...

...Islands. From the first time I heard that he referred to his grandmother as 'Toot,' I felt a profound linkage to this man. As a Native Son of Hawaii, it suggests very strong in my mind that there is a connection to Hawaii that remains at the core of this man who seeks to be president...

"There was a failure to appreciate that we were at the élite end of the hard-core surf market." The brand hadn't moved with the times, persisting with oversized clothes and huge graphics long after a sharper look became de rigueur. Its youth appeal dipped when kids spotted Mambo tees and shorts on the middle-aged, then plunged in 2006 when Gazal shifted Mambo stock from...

...Today my core beliefs are pretty much the same as then. (Well, the Bob Seger ... only in moderation.) But now I am unreal because I work in the media and live in Brooklyn, which is presumably not among Sarah Palin's "pro-American" parts of America. This is what campaign coverage tells me. If a candidate appeals to my kind, it is a liability. My artificiality will stain him with a mark that can be washed off only by a shot, a beer and a pilgrimage to Scranton...
