From time to time I read columns by David Brooks. I do it to save you the indignity of having to slog through his jejune thinking and pseudo-profundities. I trust you are grateful for my efforts.
From my reading of your most excellent post, I can say with a degree of confidence that we share a deep and abiding antipathy toward Our Miss Brooks. (I suspect you may be acquainted with the TV show of that name, which I watched as a child on our black-and-white 16" Magnavox and which, by any stretch was far superior in depth of thought and wisdom than David of the same surname.) David Brooks is a pretender, a charlatan, a pseudointellectual parvenue whose literary upchuckings even a dog would refuse to return to. Many thanks to you for reading and analyzing his dreck, so the rest of us don't have to.
