This isn't timely, but whatever.
I came upon
this article just now via Kate's gChat away message. I read its title, "The Peculiar Genius of Thomas L. Friedman", and prepared myself for blind, visceral rage, as I hate Thomas Friedman with a ferocity unbound by such droll constraints as decency or logic.
Reading the article, I became heartened. Matt Taibbi might be kind of a douche most of the time, but he sees the Truth of Friedman and understands my plight.
Also, this cartoon is fantastic. Thank you,
David Rees.
