He finds a way to make it appear he had this really impoverished upbringing.
Yet his father had a Ph D. from University of Chicago and taught at Portland State University after stints at a number of universities, including Stanford. (The article doesn't mention this.)
At the University of Chicago, his father met his mother, who also was a Portland State professor with degrees from University of Chicago a doctorate from Colombia and more.
He does disclose that this 3 kids all happen to be Harvard grads. (His wife has degrees from Cornell, Harvard and Princeton).

Will he end up with the Dodgers, Giants, or ...???
I don't follow baseball closely. The problem is that any team that unloads too much talent then can't compete, and he wants to win. Catch 22. The Dodgers supposedly have a deep farm system which could give them an edge. Give up 5, 10 minor leaguers, 3-4 MLB players, and get the player of a lifetime.
I agree that he probably wasn't impoverished as a child, but I would have used as evidence the fact that he and his wife purchased a 73 acre farm in Oregon, rather than cite his father's degrees or jobs as a university professor. in the 1950s, professor salaries were not very high, and they had to generate income for the university, like research grants for physical or life sciences, or for themselves personally like sale of their books. University political science profs didn't make much salary in those days, but with two of them working, they were probably doing fairly well. When I did research on the staff at Cal's Engineering lab, the director told me the average researcher had to publish 5 papers per year to make a salary equal to what his salary would have been if he worked in private industry. The director also told me that in his day (the 1940s), he only had to publish one research paper in every 2 years to make as much money as he would have made in private industry. Still Kristof's father did do other jobs, like being a logger, which he may have done to supplement the family income, but I don't know that.okaydo said:

Thanks for this. His father had quite a life.

His parents bought their farm in 1971, the year they joined the Portland State staff.
And he grew up with a 30,000-volume library.

No, I believe a man can transform themselves to look like a woman and take a woman's hormones, but a man can't install aftermarket female organs (ovaries, etc.) and have babies. Thanks once again for telling me what I believe instead of letting me decide that.Quote:
Keep in mind that if you believe someone can decide what their gender is, you believe the first two whether you like it or not.

If you and Iamnotangrybear89 are going to be a bunch of prissy Sallys and take any jokes about Obama as some sort of racist attack and therefore feel it is okay to devolve into childish insults, you got issues. Is iamnotangrybear89 your lame alter ego that gets to post all the stupid things you really want to say to defend your liberal sensitivities? It is cute that he has somebody to star his verbal attacks.

Who's sensitive, snowflake? Get over herself. Admit it: you aren't good at humor, and you really suck at nuanced thinking. You just post childish, tired, and insensitive jokes from a painfully unfunny conservative satire site.
And you brought racism in to the conversation, so it makes me wonder if maybe you wondered if it WAS a little racist but you decided "So what?" and pressed "Post" anyway.

The Republican Party wants to get rid of Trump just as much as the Democrat Party.
That way they can try to install another uniparty neocon Bush Republican scumbag and get back to their corrupt uniparty business as usual.
