I much preferred Homicide: Life on The Streets.

<i>DUN DUN</i> Cue clerk to come in and hand you a plot point. "LOOKS LIKE DAVID BROOKS PANTS WERE FOUND IN SOMALIA'S DRY CLEANING"

David Brooks would get that shockingly wrong too.

"Well, clearly the problem with the island was the complete rebellion against all of society's structures. When laborers get too much power, they resist doing labor. Lil Buddy rejected his prior position in the hierarchy of the maritime system -- constantly ignoring the Skipper -- and rejected the capitalist system -- by ignoring the Howells, and no longer took on his laborer duties, so of course no boats could be fixed. We see this very breakdown in our society, when we subsidize the poor."

It's gotta be either Kirby Delauter or Hitler, right?

“The central anti-poverty program is law and order.”

Brooks wants to see the trains run on time also, too.

He just says words, man. They don't have to mean anything.

Well, that show and it's spin-offs has given jobs to a whole lot of actors. Ka-chung chung.

Lindsay had the vapors and McCain wanted to say "bomb France" but even NBC thought better of that.

Thanks to should-be-war-criminal Donald Rumsfeld and his idiot W's "Old Europe" snarks after France (rightly) questioned that whole "we found weapons of mass destruction" assertion, I realize that it's <i>de rigueur</i> to insult the French at every opportunity, but "a failed state?" Really? At this point, I think most elementary school kids have a better handle on world politics than Brooks.

I don't know how Brooks can speak so normally, breathing the thin rarefied air of entitlement as he does. Guess you get used to it.
