David Brooks is making the air smell sour - and I'm 1000+ miles away.

Yeah, the wifey preferred Bill last night and I just internalized my thoughts on that (WTF, are you on drugs?)

But then, she had a shitty day today, so that's probably why. Too bad she was asleep by the finale because that was some rousing shit right there. Fired up, ready to go.

<blockquote>I remember driving this work commute I used to make, and him kind of flipping out about Harriet Miers on NPR.</blockquote>

What you have to remember is, David Brooks is <em>obsessed</em> with seriousness. By which I don't mean actually being serious about solving problems, but being serious about seeming serious to David Brooks, which typically just means talking occasionally about centerism, and most importantly having a Village-approved credential. There was no case that could be made to even the laziest of minds that Miers was of the mainstream of American politics, and she clearly lacked the aforementioned Temple Pass for admission to the inner sanctum of the High Church of Broderism. So, David Brooks flipped.

Sadly, I just joined Pinterest. It is addictive, but herein lies the flaw: one spends time "pinning" cool DIY ideas, but then has no time to DO the DIY. But it's cheaper than buying magazines and clipping the same ideas. And occasionally I do make something.
