Scott Beauchamp: I'm Too Smart For This World

Hah. And you thought my Dirk Gently quote -- "The trouble with clever people is that they assume everyone else is stupid" -- was offered for no reason.

From one of his blogs:

My Day off is just that

Americans dont like smart people...at least people who are intelligent just to expand human knowledge. If youre smart, it better lead to riches. And as for the all american heroes, they're not more intlligent than you...just sexier or faster or in a gang, or, like, really really really good at football. It leaves no hope for those who are pretty useless save their intellect. Sorry AJ. You'll always be MY hero.

Today: went to the library, checked out some new movies, was on the internet FAR too long....listened to Wilco and The Smiths....have to work 24 hr CQ tomorrow night. Damn.

Not much else to say really. Vicar in a TuTu.

Well, I'd say that's the perfect personality type to give an unsupervised assignment to! Let's see -- emotionally immature with a juvenile persecution complex; delusions of intellectutal superiority; a huge chip on his shoulder about not having his genius properly recognized by the morons around him; he believes America is keeping him down due to his intellect; and he's determined to get those "riches" usually reserved for football stars, by hook or by crook!

Damn-- forget making him Baghdad Diarist! Let's make this guy the fucking Secretary of Defense! Who knows where his undiscovered talents may take us!

By the way: I'm told (not sure how this is known) that searching this blog -- or cached versions of it; the post seems to be deleted -- for the keywords "liar" and/or "deceiver" might yield some good results.

Go here for details.

The greatest living poet? Really? Really?
