...commercial that's become popular recently chirps "It's about suppression." The commercial is referring to a sexually transmitted disease, but it could very well be referring to yuppie angst. Pop psychology saw this coming: because it's not really socially acceptable to be unhappy about happiness, the Carolyn Burnhams of the world can't really make any sort of change to it. How to cope? Why, by suppressing everything inside, be it good or bad-thereby further emphasizing the emotionless tedium of yuppiedom. After all, the first and second rules of Fight Club are that you don't talk...

...poll. For instance, in September, Donald Trump, who was then only rumored to be mulling a Reform party presidential run, was viewed unfavorably by 47 percent of Americans. This month, Trump ? perhaps the most credible of the crop of celebrity political newcomers due to his decades of business leadership ? saw his unfavorable ratings climb to 58 percent immediately after he announced the formation of a presidential exploratory committee. Reform party members polled were over 50 percent more likely to choose controversial conservative Pat Buchanan over the coiffed casino king...
