"The datin...You're such a sad man, David.<br /><br />"The dating market becomes a true market, where people carefully appraise each other, looking for red flags."<br />-- Uh, no. The red flags show up much later in the relationship. Just ask your ex-wife.<br /><br />"Even those of us who have had humbling experiences in this realm can look at those who seem to have this lifelong thing figured out and see a different set of attitudes and presuppositions, which you might call a Regime of Covenants."<br />-- Is that what the playas today are using, a "regime of covenants"? <br /><br />Brooks concludes: "The deepest joy sneaks in the back door when you are surrendering to some sacred promise."<br /><br />ha ha ha. I've been called a lot of things when sneaking in the back door, but never that. ;)bluicebankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821812102554488543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-11672262151351681932017-03-07T16:34:07.783-06:002017-03-07T16:34:07.783-06:00I figure Trump and brooks ( well Paul Ryan et al...I figure Trump and brooks ( well Paul Ryan et al) are all competing for copyright usage of this YouTube 1 min clip,<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCcdr4O-3gE<br /><br />To explore the innermost nether regions of Brooks's "Inner Limits".<br /><br />When a diversion is essential Brooks educates us on his sorrowful life. Trump returns to calling to investigate Obama's birth. Ryan rereads an Ayn Rand Bible. Brooks suffrage to payday tortures those who dare read his (achem) opinion.<br /><br />Brooks seems to be in a poor mental place. You know what he needs?<br />To get out there and find a cabby and ask him about the essentials of life for us all and he can then come back rejuvenated to write with zest and gusto. A new column.<br /><br />He is in my book, an exemplary example of life under the Conservative ideology.<br /><br />Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-52083469532933876422017-03-07T16:06:42.845-06:002017-03-07T16:06:42.845-06:00Good evening, Mr. Glass.

Quick Google check and it seems that the much younger, evangelical Anne has left the NY Times and moved to Houston. <br /><br />Bonus irony points: the affair supposedly happened while she was helping DFB write his book "The Road to Character." Of course.<br /><br />I picture Brooks drinking heavily and mumbling those words of Plato*<br /><br />Tempted by the fruit of another,<br />tempted but the truth is discovered,<br />What's been going on, now that you have gone.<br />There's no other...<br /><br />* words known well to toney heart-broken scholarly pundits (and strippers across the USA).

You may have omitted a "no" in the sentence <i>"And now that Day-Glo fascism has come a'rumblin' down those very tracks, hauling the entire Republian Party behind it, Mr. Brooks has decided that very much longer wants to be in the steel-drivin' business.
