I'm sure Dr. Pangloss would be happy to help. <br /><br />OK, I admit it, I'm not as good at this mashing as you are.bowtiejackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269786110593961195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-35778229108069555142015-05-20T23:08:18.475-05:002015-05-20T23:08:18.475-05:00I can but speculate as to the how and why of David...I can but speculate as to the how and why of David Brooks being in the Gray Lady's inner sanctum.<br /><br />I have met this sort of writer before, a high school editorial writer of sorts prone to fancy, who never grew up, beyond adding sophistic words and phrases to his limited mind.<br /><br />Back in the day, I cut the feet from that idiot and took his job. Later on, those idiots were promoted. It started in the early 1990s. The newspaper industry reaped the whirlwind. My only solace today is knowing that David Brooks is a harbinger of the end for the NYT.<br /><br />I can see it from a mile away.

Slipped right by me.<br /><br />Also, is "it hurt my feeling" a typo or does he really only have one?<br /><br />Stay humble, scrivener!
