Henry Alford gives me yet another reason to hate the New York Times Book Review.

From Richard Dawkins’s Memealot: The Selfish Gene Musical

This book coined a new term: meme.
Or “me-me” for those with the selfish gene.

Me me me me me me: me!
Me me-me me me-me me me me.

There’s no “I” in team
But there’s “me” and I’m

(Singer rips off his clothes to reveal a leotard.) … A miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

With this essay, which is probably the stupidest and most insipid waste of space I’ve ever seen, the New York Times Book Review has lost its last two readers.
