Hey Frank Rich
In a year in which almost every pronouncement about America's racial zeitgeist from the High Temples of the Press has been wrong, I am officially asking you to shut up about it before you jinx it.
...Okay, the above statement, while mercifully brief, sounds like the impending twitterization of this journal. Since I'm nothing if not long-form, I was going to prepare a line-by-line of the latest from everyone's favorite barrel-dwelling catfish, David Brooks. (BTW, guess what champion of "American exceptionalism" is Canadian?)
Anyway, I then realized that nobody else was really interested, and he's so much of a blowhard I can't stand reading him three times. So we'll skip the exercise, sorry kids.
