Go, Tweed Racer, Go!
Next week: "Edmund Burke Buys a Sporty Red Convertible."
I have previously mentioned that it is a remarkable thing that last Friday, The New York Times paid Mr. David Brooks -- America's Most Ubiquitous Conservative Public Intellectual -- real American money to write an entire column parsing what "cool" meant.
How Cool Works in America Today
The cool person is...
And that on Tuesday, The New York Times paid Mr. Brooks even more real American money to spend an entire column explaining "manliness".
Before Manliness Lost Its Virtue
And so it was probably inevitable that today you would open up your New York Times today and find that the Sulzberger family had handed Mr. Brooks still more real American money for this:
Can People Change After Middle Age?

NExt week " The Perfidy of Trophy Wives" where he assails younger second wives for daring to complain he's sleeping with the nanny...what did they expect? He slept with them, did he not???
Next week, a ponderous column about the perfidy of young women becoming the second or 'so-called trophy' wife of prominent columnists merely for sleeping with the nanny, err, un-named young female companion he just took to a fucking Deli...
Brooks on the pay roll writing about the different ways "cool" can be sliced.
If this column must be provided to a "conservative" to fulfill the quota in the spirit of equal opportunity.
Better the low brow quota be occupied by Brooks than a Gingrich. Although either would not have the sense to clear a peeking view on the clown car windshield smeared with shit.
In other words. As excruciatingly confusing as Brooks is. Other quota candidates have theirown skunk marking.
It's difficult to imagine someone less qualified to comment on what's "cool" than Brooks. He strikes me as someone who spent half his life envying the bejabbers out of those whom he perceived as cool, and the rest of his time slamming them.
Kinda like a nun writing on The Joy of Sex...or something... I'm not so hot at "analogy". :-D
"Next week: 'Edmund Burke Buys a Sporty Red Convertible." I stopped laughing just long enough to type that.
Trying to post comments on this site may be the biggest pain in the ass I've experienced this week. What the fuck are you so goddam paranoid about, Drifty? Maybe you would get a little more commenter participation if we didn't have to undergo a fucking top secret clearance verification to post.
You comment has been posted.
Gee, Hutchman, been on the internet long?
Anyway, if navigating Google's login app that Drift uses was the worst of your week, then clearly you didn't have to replace a tie rod end ball joint, like I did. THAT is a pain in the ass. Google I can handle.
brooksy has a target, third way warriors. their economic sharing, their racial equality, their defense of voting for all, their support of universal healthcare, their very basic love of humanity outside of their own little tribe is exactly like the amount of vermouth in a proper martini....
it varies from very, very little to a thought, then thinking again, perhaps better without...
