The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Among Others believes there are two types of readers: those who reread and those who don't. She tells of her own experience as a rereader in this collection of more than 130 essays, which first appeared as blog entries on the Tor.com website. Walton's case for revisiting favorite books, eloquently made in the introduction but illuminated in each essay, is that the practice can be simply comforting but can also provide endless opportunities for new perspectives and even revelations about works that readers thought they knew well. Walton shares not only her deep love for sf and fantasy in general and these novels in particular but the insights of a truly thoughtful reader. Especially enjoyable is her book-by-book analysis of Lois McMaster Bujold's "Vorkosigan Saga." VERDICT Although readers will miss out on some of the spirited discussions that appeared in the comments for these blog entries, it is still worth the time and money for any serious sf or fantasy fan, akin to a genre version of Nancy Pearl's Book Lust. Walton's affection for many of these titles is contagious, and fans will find their own reading lists growing. Since the author covers many core texts of the genre, this volume is also useful for collection development librarians seeking to fill holes in their sf shelves.

As any reader of Jo Walton's Among Others might guess, Walton is both an inveterate reader of SF and fantasy, and a chronic re-reader of books. In 2008, then-new science-fiction mega-site Tor.com asked Walton to blog regularly about her re-reading—about all kinds of older fantasy and SF, ranging from acknowledged classics, to guilty pleasures, to forgotten oddities and gems. These posts have consistently been among the most popular features of Tor.com. Now this volumes presents a selection of the best of them, ranging from short essays to long reassessments of some of the field's most ambitious series.
Among Walton's many subjects here are the Zones of Thought novels of Vernor Vinge; the question of what genre readers mean by "mainstream"; the underappreciated SF adventures of C. J. Cherryh; the field's many approaches to time travel; the masterful science fiction of Samuel R. Delany; Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children; the early Hainish novels of Ursula K. Le Guin; and a Robert A. Heinlein novel you have most certainly never read.
Over 130 essays in all, What Makes This Book So Great is an immensely readable, engaging collection of provocative, opinionated thoughts about past and present-day fantasy and science fiction, from one of our best writers.
Editorial Reviews
The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Among Others believes there are two types of readers: those who reread and those who don't. She tells of her own experience as a rereader in this collection of more than 130 essays, which first appeared as blog entries on the Tor.com website. Walton's case for revisiting favorite books, eloquently made in the introduction but illuminated in each essay, is that the practice can be simply comforting but can also provide endless opportunities for new perspectives and even revelations about works that readers thought they knew well. Walton shares not only her deep love for sf and fantasy in general and these novels in particular but the insights of a truly thoughtful reader. Especially enjoyable is her book-by-book analysis of Lois McMaster Bujold's "Vorkosigan Saga." VERDICT Although readers will miss out on some of the spirited discussions that appeared in the comments for these blog entries, it is still worth the time and money for any serious sf or fantasy fan, akin to a genre version of Nancy Pearl's Book Lust. Walton's affection for many of these titles is contagious, and fans will find their own reading lists growing. Since the author covers many core texts of the genre, this volume is also useful for collection development librarians seeking to fill holes in their sf shelves.
For anyone whose to-read pile is not quite tall enough, this collection gathers 130 of Walton's blog posts from science fiction site Tor.com (July 2008 to February 2011) about her favorites works of sci-fi and fantasy. The books she discusses are not the latest to hit the market, but those that novelist Walton (Among Others) has reread time and again, because "something only worth reading once is pretty much a waste of time." These brief essays are perfect for picking at random; binge on too many and the books cited might blur together. In the transition from Web to print, something is lost in translation: it's disconcerting to see questions such as, "So, what sort of series do you like?" without accompanying comments. At the same time, the themes of the essays interweave nicely; many are meditations on the genre as a whole more than reviews of specific works, and Walton often ties her points back to earlier posts (most notably in the extended review of Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga). Walton intentionally approaches these works as a fan rather than a critic, and she successfully captures the sensation of reading on a personal, sensory level. For readers unschooled in the history of SF/F, this book is a treasure trove; for those who recognize every title, Walton evokes the joy of returning to a well-worn favorite.

What Makes This Book So Great
By Jo Walton, Patrick Hayden, Teresa Nielsen Hayden
Tom Doherty AssociatesCopyright © 2014 Jo Walton
All rights reserved.
This book is made up of a series of blog posts I wrote on Tor.com between July 2008 and February 2011. They appear here in order, and with their original dates. These are about a fifth of the total posts I made during that time. You don't have to read them in order, but sometimes one will refer back to another and develop an argument. I wrote them as blog posts, and so they are inherently conversational and interactive — they were written in dialogue with each other and also with the people reading and commenting. I think they are still interesting when taken out of that context, but if reading them here makes you splutter "but, but" and reach for the follow-up key, the posts are still online, and I am still reading comments. Interaction remains a possibility. I'm still writing new posts too. (If, however, you are reading this in a far distant future in which this is no longer a possibility, hello! Nobody would have liked to talk to someone from your world more than I would, and any regrets are on both sides.)
The brief I was given when I started writing for Tor.com was to talk about what I was re-reading. Patrick Nielsen Hayden said that I was always saying "smart things about books nobody else had thought about for ages," and that's what I tried to do. You won't find any reviews here. Reviews are naturally concerned with new books, and are first reactions. Here I'm mostly talking about older books, and these are my thoughts on reading them again. There are posts on books in many genres and published between 1871 and 2008, but the emphasis is on older science fiction and fantasy. There are also posts here about the act of reading and re-reading, and about the genres of science fiction and fantasy and the boundaries between them. When I talk about books that aren't science fiction and fantasy, I'm looking at them from a genre perspective, whether it's how George Eliot should have single-handedly invented science fiction or wishing wistfully that A. S. Byatt had read Delany.
My general approach to the books in these pieces is as a genre-reader, but not as a generic reader. There's no impersonality here, no attempt at objectivity. These are my thoughts and opinions, for what they're worth, my likes and dislikes, my quirks and prejudices and enthusiasms. I select the books I re-read based on what I feel like reading at the moment, so these are my tastes. I do from time to time write about books I don't enjoy, for one reason or another, but what you'll mostly find are attempts to consider the question I ask in the title of this collection — what makes this book so great?CHAPTER 2
Why I Re-read
There are two kinds of people in the world, those who re-read and those who don't. No, don't be silly, there are far more than two kinds of people in the world. There are even people who don't read at all. (What do they think about on buses?) But there are two kinds of readers in the world, though, those who re-read and those who don't. Sometimes people who don't re-read look at me oddly when I mention that I do. "There are so many books," they say, "and so little time. If I live to be a mere Methuselah of 800, and read a book a week for 800 years, I will only have the chance to read 40,000 books, and my readpile is already 90,000 and starting to topple! If I re-read, why, I'll never get through the new ones." This is in fact true, they never will. And my readpile is also, well, let's just say it's pretty large, and that's just the pile of unread books in my house, not the list of books I'd theoretically like to read someday, many of which have not even been written yet. That list probably is at 90,000, especially if I include books that will be written in the next 800 years by people as yet unborn and books written by aliens as yet unmet. Wow, it's probably well over 90,000! When will I ever read all those books?
Well, I read a lot more than one book a week. Even when I'm fantastically busy rushing about having a good time and visiting my friends and family, like right now, I average a book every couple of days. If I'm at home and stuck in bed, which happens sometimes, then I'm doing nothing but reading. I can get through four or six books in a day. So I could say that there are never going to be sufficient books to fill the voracious maw that is me. Get writing! I need books! If I didn't re-read I'd run out of books eventually and that would be terrible!
But this argument is disingenuous, because in fact there is that towering pile of unread books in my bedroom at home, and even a little one in my bedroom here in my aunt's house. I don't re-read to make the new books last longer. That might be how it started. ... The truth is that there are, at any given time, a whole lot more books I don't want to read than books I do.
Right now, I don't want to read Storming the Heavens: Soldiers, Emperors, and Civilians in the Roman Empire by Antonio Santosuosso, and/or The Phoenicians and the West: Politics, Colonies and Trade by Maria Eugenia Aubet and Mary Turton. I do want to read both of these books, in theory, enough theory that they came home with me from the library, but in practice they both have turgid academic prose that it's work to slog through. I am going to try to slog through the Phoenician one before I go home to Montreal and the book goes home to Cardiff library, but the other one is going back unread. (The Phoenicians, unlike the Romans, are insufficiently written about for me to turn down a solid book for bad prose.) But yesterday, when I was picking up books to take to read on the train to London, both of them glowered at me unwelcomingly. I was already in the middle of one (pretty good) book on Hannibal's army, I wanted fiction. And I didn't just want any old fiction, I wanted something good and absorbing and interesting enough to suck me in and hold my attention on the train so that I wouldn't notice the most boring scenery in the world — to me at least, who has taken the train between Cardiff and London quite often before. I didn't want to have to look out of the window at Didcot Parkway. I had some new fiction out of the library, but what I wanted was something engrossing, something reliable, and for me, that means something I have read before.
When I re-read, I know what I'm getting. It's like revisiting an old friend. An unread book holds wonderful unknown promise, but also threatens disappointment. A re-read is a known quantity. A new book that's been sitting there for a little while waiting to be read, already not making the cut from being "book on shelf" to "book in hand" for some time, for some reason, often can't compete with going back to something I know is good, somewhere I want to revisit. Sometimes I totally kick myself over this, because when I finally get around to something unread that's been sitting there I don't know how I can have passed it over with that "cold rice pudding" stare while the universe cooled and I read C. J. Cherryh's The Pride of Chanur for the nineteenth time.
My ideal relationship with a book is that I will read it for the first time entirely unspoiled. I won't know anything whatsoever about it, it will be wonderful, it will be exciting and layered and complex and I will be excited by it, and I will re-read it every year or so for the rest of my life, discovering more about it every time, and every time remembering the circumstances in which I first read it. (I was re-reading Doris Lessing's The Good Terrorist. "The first time I read this was in a cafe in Lytham St. Annes in 1987," I mentioned. "How can you remember that?" my husband asked. "I don't know. It was raining, and I was eating a poached egg on toast." Other people remember where they were when they heard that Princess Diana was dead. I haven't a clue, but I pretty much always remember where I was when I first read things.)
This ideal relationship doesn't always work out. Even when I like the book in the first place, sometimes a re-read is a disappointment. This usually happens when the thing that was good about the book was a temporary shininess that wears off quickly. There are books that pall when I know their plots, or become too familiar with their characters. And sometimes I read a book that I used to love and find it seems to have been replaced with a shallow book that's only somewhat similar. (This happens most often with children's books I haven't read since I was a child, but it has happened with adult books. This worries me, and makes me wonder if I'm going to grow out of everything and have nothing to read except Proust. Fortunately, when and if that day comes, in several hundred years, Proust will be there, and still pristine.)
A re-read is more leisurely than a first read. I know the plot, after all, I know what happens. I may still cry (embarrassingly, on the train) when re-reading, but I won't be surprised. Because I know what's coming, because I'm familiar with the characters and the world of the story, I have more time to pay attention to them. I can immerse myself in details and connections I rushed past the first time and delight in how they are put together. I can relax into the book. I can trust it completely. I really like that.
Very occasionally, with a wonderfully dense and complex book I'll re-read it right away as soon as I've finished it, not just because I don't want to leave the world of that book but also because I know I have gulped where I should have savoured, and now that I know I can rely on the journey that is the book, I want to relax and let it take me on it. The only thing missing is the shock of coming at something unexpected and perfect around a blind corner, which can be one of the most intense pleasures of reading, but that's a rare pleasure anyway. Re-reading too extensively can be a bad sign for me, a sign of being down. Mixing new possibilities with reliable old ones is good, leaning on the re-reads and not adventuring anything new at all isn't. Besides, if I do that, where will the re-reads of tomorrow come from? I can't re-read the same 365 books for the next 800 years. I've already read some dearly beloved books to the point where I know them by heart.
Long before I am 800 I will have memorized all the books I love now and be unable to re-read them, but fortunately by then people and aliens will have written plenty more new favourites, and I'll be re-reading them too.CHAPTER 3
A Deepness in the Sky, the Tragical History of Pham Nuwen
Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky (1999) wouldn't be a tragedy if it existed alone. It's a tragedy because it's a prequel to A Fire Upon the Deep (1992) and the reader knows things about the universe the characters do not know. All the other things I can think of that make this trick work are historical or mythological. Deepness does it entirely within SF and entirely within Vinge's invented universe. I think it's an incredible achievement.
In A Fire Upon the Deep we learn early on that our immediate cosmic neighborhood is divided into Zones, working outwards from the Galactic core. In each Zone, cognition and technology work better. So in the core it isn't possible to be intelligent at all, in the Slow Zone it's possible to be as intelligent as a human but no better and you can't go faster than light, in the Beyond you can have FTL and anti-gravity and enhanced intelligences, and in the Transcend you can have godlike intelligences and Clarke's Law tech. The novel takes place in the Beyond, with an excursion to the Slow Zone, and concerns a problem from the Low Transcend risking upsetting the whole thing. (Vinge apparently thought up this brilliant universe as a way around his idiotic Singularity non-problem, which just goes to show that a) constraints can produce excellent art and b) every cloud has a silver lining.)
The whole of Deepness takes place in the Slow Zone, among characters, human and alien, who have absolutely no idea that their universe works that way. They don't know there are other Zones out there, they think they're part of a baroque and complex civilization that stretches for light-years, that's held together by a thin skein of trading spaceships.
The universe they believe they live in has a long history of Failed Dreams — AI, FTL, really good life-extension techniques — which have kept receding as they are chased. There's a profession of "Programmer/Archaeologist" where your job is to excavate the underlayers of the old programs your computers are running — and they're very old; in some cases, there are slower-than-light starships running on Linux.
The plot of Deepness is an exciting one, with aliens going through a technological revolution, with two groups of opposed humans trying to use them and each other, and with tiny incremental advances in technology meaning a huge amount. Whole civilizations are perishing in the background because they've got as far as it's possible to go — their planets are at the point where one little bit of overload will bring it all down around their ears. There's mindwipe, and the fascinating idea of Focus (enslaving people and fixing their brains in one direction so that they become obsessive about it), and a carefully timed revolt, and secrets among the aliens. There are great characters and a great character-driven plot, and I didn't even mention how terrifically alien and yet entirely comprehensible the aliens are, who have evolved on a planet around a star that goes out regularly and freezes even their air. There's a happy ending.
But in the end what brings me back to Deepness again and again isn't any of that but the terrible tragedy that surrounds that happy ending, that Pham Nuwen wants to find the secret at the heart of the galaxy and he sets off in the wrong direction to find it.
At the end of the movie Far from Heaven the hero, a black guy in a segregated 1950s US, leaves the white heroine and gets on a train in Hartford, Connecticut, towards the US South. "No!" I said in an anguished whisper. I wanted him to walk across the platform and get on the train going the other way. In Montreal even then he could have married the girl. He's heading in the wrong direction and he doesn't even know there's a possible way out.
It's a heck of an achievement for Vinge to make me feel the same way in an entirely SFnal universe, and without a word about it in the book.CHAPTER 4
The Singularity Problem and Non-Problem
I mentioned in my post on Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky that I don't believe the Singularity is a problem. Commenters Dripgrind and Coveysd asked about that, and I decided the answer was worth a post. Vinge came up with the Singularity in Marooned in Realtime (Analog, May–August 1986; Bluejay, 1986), which I read in 1987 when it came out in Britain. I thought then that the Singularity was a terrific SF idea — the idea was that technological progress would spiral so fast that something incomprehensible would happen. In the book, most of humanity has disappeared, and the plot concerns the people who missed it. (Incidental aside — the reason I re-read Marooned in Realtime is for the journal of one of the people who missed it. The plot, the ideas, the other characters have all worn fairly thin over time, but Marta's journal as she lives alone on a far-future Earth remains compelling.) I was astonished at reaching the end of the book to discover a little afterword in which Vinge claimed to believe in the coming Singularity. I thought it was a great idea for a story, maybe even two or three stories, but too obviously silly for anyone to really believe.
Since then, the Singularity has come to be an object of almost religious faith in some quarters. In The Cassini Division (1998), Ken MacLeod has a character call it "the Rapture for nerds," and that's just how I see it.

Last year ArtInfo ran a post called "The 10 MFA Programs That Give You the Most Bang For Your Buck" and I was surprised that University of Connecticut (my alma mater) wasn't at the top of the list. Here's why it should be.
Halfway between New York City and Boston, UConn is located in the lovely pastures and cow fields of central Connecticut. The rural location may seem like a negative, but in fact, living outside of a major metropolitan area means fewer distractions (and insidious influences), lower rent, and enormous, private studio spaces with natural lighting. As far as the faculty goes, the professors are pretty accomplished–Guggenheim
Fellowships, Fulbright Scholarships, Getty Foundation Grants, National
Endowment for the Humanities and the Arts Grants–and engaged with the students and with their own studio practices.

In addition to unparalleled studio space and one-on-one mentoring, each
student (five are accepted each year) gets a tuition waiver and a
generous fellowship for a teaching or gallery assistantship. In other
words, students can earn an MFA from a top research institution without incurring any student loan debt. For artists, unlikely to find a full-time teaching job for several years, this is extremely important. Graduating debt-free means they have the financial freedom to spend more time in the studio during the critical post-graduate period.
The deadline to apply is January 15, 2014. For a tour of the campus and facilities, contact MFA Grad Program Director and Professor Judith Thorpe (Email: email@example.com, Phone: 860-486-4417). UConn is a friendly place–Judith told me she would be happy to meet with all prospective applicants and show them around. Spread the word.

The clip, which features cameos by a staggering number of famous comedic actors, centers on a conflict between the classic Beasties, as portrayed by Seth Rogen, Danny McBride and Elijah Wood, and their time-traveling future selves, as played by Will Ferrell, Jack Black and John C. Reilly. It's goofy, it's funny, it's the essence of the Beastie Boys. Set aside a half hour and check it out.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Piston Cloud Computing, Inc., the enterprise OpenStack company, today announced the general availability of Piston Enterprise OS (pentOS), an easy, secure and open cloud operating system for managing enterprise private cloud environments.
OpenStack is the fastest-growing open source project in the world, with over 2,321 contributors and 147 participating companies including Rackspace, NASA, Citrix, Intel, Cisco, AT&T, Arista Networks, Microsoft and Dell. OpenStack is proven and ready for the enterprise and Piston Cloud plays a key role in driving the technology forward -- sharing knowledge, guidance, vision and code.
Piston Enterprise OS is the first OpenStack distribution specifically focused on security and the easy operation of enterprise private clouds. Piston Cloud's innovative Null-Tier Architecture combines storage, compute and networking on every node to deliver massive scalability with unprecedented cost efficiency. Custom built to address regulatory requirements, Piston Enterprise OS also represents the industry's first implementation of CloudAudit, an open security standard for cloud and virtualized environments. Furthermore, pentOS is hardware vendor agnostic, ensuring users aren't locked in to a single proprietary architecture and that the system integrates seamlessly with products from companies like Intel, Dell and Arista.
Piston Enterprise OS is built to be easy, secure and open:
- pentOS can be installed in less than 10 minutes, and provides automatic security updates via a simple subscription service.
- Groundbreaking Null-Tier Architecture allows customers to easily scale a high-availability private cloud, one server at a time.
- 24x7 enterprise-level support.
- Piston CloudKey delivers 99.999% automated and hands-free installation of the pentOS software to servers and switches.
- Operating on a custom-built Linux distribution, pentOS minimizes security exposure and optimizes performance.
- pentOS is the industry's first enterprise implementation of CloudAudit.
- pentOS is vendor agnostic and built to open standards, with a modular design that allows for integration with legacy and third-party technologies.
- Customers can grow their private cloud using commodity hardware.
- pentOS is interoperable with any other OpenStack-based public cloud environment, including Rackspace, Dell, Amazon, Internap, AT&T and others.
"As we continue to see security lag in the public cloud environment, it is clear that private cloud is really the only option for organizations dealing with large volumes of regulated data," said Joshua McKenty, CEO and co-founder of Piston Cloud. "To date, VMware was the only widely accepted option for private cloud, which brought with it associated cost, complexity and vendor lock-in. Piston Enterprise OS disrupts the market with the easiest, most secure and open approach to private cloud."
Pricing and Availability
With pricing starting at $3,500 per server, Piston Enterprise OS is available now at http://www.pistoncloud.com. For more information, contact [email protected].
About Piston Cloud Computing, Inc.

Founded in early 2011 by technical team leads from NASA and Rackspace®, Piston Cloud is built around OpenStack, the fastest-growing, massively scalable open source cloud framework.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Westport town officials announced today that the July 1 tax bills will be mailed to taxpayers in upcoming days and urged careful scrutiny of motor vehicle bills.
A joint announcement by Tax Assessor Paul Friia and Tax Collector Peggy Klein said taxpayers will have until the end of July to make real estate and motor vehicle payments without penalty.
Payments must be postmarked by Aug. 1 or received in the Tax Collector's Office (110 Myrtle Ave., Room 109) by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 1 to avoid late payment charges, an announcement said.
The officials urged taxpayers to review the motor vehicle tax bills carefully as they said the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) recently experienced major computer issues that resulted in discrepancies on a number of the bills.

From the Wall Street Journal:
AACHEN, Germany — An 88-year-old former member of Adolf Hitler's Waffen SS went on trial Wednesday for the wartime hit-style killings of three civilians in the Netherlands.
While in captivity after the war, Heinrich Boere admitted to the killings to Dutch authorities. But he has managed to avoid prosecution for decades — first escaping from the Netherlands before he could be brought to trial, then successfully eluding the courts in Germany.
Teun de Groot, the son of one of Mr. Boere's victims and a co-plaintiff, said before the trial he hoped Mr. Boere would be convicted on the three counts of murder.
"I feel like it will go to a good result," he said.
Inside the court, cries of "Nazis get out, no fascists here" broke out as two skinheads wearing black neo-Nazi-styled garb took seats in the back.
Mr. Boere faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted of the 1944 killings of a bicycle-shop owner, a pharmacist and another civilian while part of an SS death squad codenamed "Silbertanne," or "Silver Pine." …

The House version of the Stop Online Piracy Act, the proposed anti-piracy legislation that drew a planned and widespread internet revolt Wednesday, is likely to undergo a radical overhaul to muster passage, a House aide said Thursday. But it's too soon to say what might be amended. The chorus of lawmakers who now say they oppose the measures have not publicly itemized their objections.

Mich. hit man pleads guilty to killing cop's wife
Says the woman's husband hired him to kill her
By Ed White
Associated Press
DETROIT, Mi — An admitted Detroit hit man charged with killing a police officer's wife has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Vincent Smothers admitted in Wayne County Circuit Court on Monday that he killed 47-year-old Rose Cobb on Dec. 26, 2007. He says he was hired to kill her by Cobb's husband, David Cobb.
David Cobb was never charged and hanged himself in September 2008.
Smothers is also charged with killing seven other people as a hired gun and is in the process of accepting plea deals in those slayings.
Smothers would serve a minimum of 50 years in prison for second-degree murder.

Jon Stewart Flunks Econ
A strange ideological convergence.
I've been eagerly awaiting The Daily Show's take on the platinum coin, but when it finally came Thursday night, the result was a crushing disappointment. No movie-caper scenarios, no catchphrase punch lines, just a you-so-crazy reaction. What's more, the whole premise of Jon Stewart's reaction was completely uninformed. He seems to think the plan is designed not to prevent massive market dislocations caused by Republicans refusing to lift the debt ceiling, but to cover the budget deficit. Here's his setup:
America's got a bit of a cash-flow problem these days. We have a $16 trillion debt. Our credit rating actually got downgraded for the first time last year. So I think you can all agree it's time to get serious and figure out a way to restore the world's respect for the soundness of our currency ...
No, that's not it. None of those points is relevant. It's not about the deficit at all. The credit downgrade was a pure political statement by S&P, one that had no impact at all on the markets. Respect for our currency remains extremely high, as evidenced by massive demand for it even at rock-bottom interest rates. We have no cash-flow problem at all.
It's hard to say exactly what Jon Stewart and his writers think about economic policy, but there is some odd vein of Hooverism that pops up from time to time. Take his 2009 interview with White House budget director Peter Orszag:
This happened in April of 2009 as the world economy was in a free fall. The whole comedic premise of the entire interview was "Oh my God, the deficit is so big; why don't you solve that?" Stewart compared the U.S. government to a family and asked what would happen if it called up its credit card company and said it was projecting a deficit of uncertain size. (Orszag correctly replied that families run deficits with credit card companies all the time.) He prodded with questions like, "When you say 'we're cutting that down' — when?"
Orszag tried to gently explain that it wasn't important to cut the deficit right away, but Stewart did not seem to take that premise at all. (He did push back a bit on Über-deficit-hawk Alan Simpson in a more recent interview.)
Now, obviously it's not an economics show, but the premise of a joke is supposed to be reality, and the punch line is the departure from reality. The joke here proceeds as if we all know that Herbert Hoover's views on fiscal policy are obviously correct.

WASHINGTON Utah ranks poorly, 43rd out of 50, in a list compiled by reproductive rights groups comparing state laws affecting abortions, gay rights and contraception availability.
Ipas, a reproductive rights advocacy group, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective, unveiled the "Mapping Our Rights" Web site Wednesday, as a tool for people to look at the differences among the states when it comes to 25 different laws from abortion bans to outlawing gay marriages.
Utah earned slot 43 by its tally of "penalty" points assigned by the groups to laws they feel limit an individual's right to choose who to marry, when to have children or access to certain types of health care. The higher number of points the worse the ranking.
While the ranking was lamented by gay rights advocates, it was hailed by those opposed to gay rights and abortion.
Utah received points for state laws mandating counseling before abortion, a waiting period before an abortion and parental involvement in minors' abortions as well as a lack of hate-crime laws for gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people, a ban on gay marriages, and an abstinence-only education policy in school, among other items.
The Legislature this year passed a hate-crimes law that creates a sentencing consideration for crimes considered a danger to a community at large, regardless of the victim's sexual orientation, race or other factors.
The lower-ranked states provided the least amount of freedom, according to the groups.
"No American should have to shop around for rights in states," said Jason Cianciotto, research director at National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute.
But Gayle Ruzicka, president of the Eagle Forum, an anti-abortion group in Utah, said of the state's low ranking, "Good for us."
"I am certainly disappointed that we didn't make 50," she said.
Ruzicka said she thinks most Americans support protecting unborn children and would support Utah's laws.
She was not surprised to see a link drawn between reproductive rights and gay rights saying it is the "same liberal people" who "support gay rights that also support the killing of unborn children."
"It is interesting to see them admit it," Ruzicka said. "Those people are going to be in agreement."
The groups behind the rankings said reproductive and gay community rights are "intrinsically linked" because the state laws they studied "restrict individuals' control over their own bodies, including the ability to have same-sex intimate relationships or safeguard their sexual health."
Jane Marquardt, the board chair of Equality Utah, a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality group, said it is a "legitimate link" because all the laws deal with 'freedom of choice issues.
Marquardt said while Utah is viewed as a "very Republican state" things are changing for the better. She said as an openly gay person she has seen things change over the last 25 years in the state and believes as more gay people are willing to be open perceptions and myths will decline.
"Coming out of the closet remains to be a very important thing for people to do," she said.
She said two decades ago, talking about domestic-partner benefits would not even have been an option but now Salt Lake City passed a law allowing for city employees to enroll for such benefits. She said there are two gay members of the Legislature.
"I think the whole country will change," she said.The map can be found online at www.mappingourrights.org.
