I'm not sure if people read Matt Taibbi's stuff from Rolling Stone, but he's done a great job tearing both Brooks and Friedman's bullshit political perspectives apart. <br /><br />Here's a good one on Brooks:<br /><br />http://trueslant.com/matttaibbi/2010/01/18/translating-david-brooks-haiti/<br /><br />And here's one on Friedman - and please look at this one just for his take on Friedman's use of metaphors. It's hilarious. <br /><br />http://www.nypress.com/article-19271-flat-n-all-that.htmldrwatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16184322472302989822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-24074646015928561052011-04-13T19:38:44.879-07:002011-04-13T19:38:44.879-07:00I can relate to the last paragraph.

That article is surprisingly good for the NYT — I like how it privileges poetry. Thanks for that.

It's refreshing, and as a student of yours a few years ago, I always thought you did a good job of trying to unmoor the educational experience from, as you say, "pedantic academics." <br /><br />Also, unconnected, I read this article today and for some reason thought it might interest you.<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/12/opinion/12brooks.htmlLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490422477523754066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-33161220106958972612011-04-12T11:29:14.166-07:002011-04-12T11:29:14.166-07:00Wow.
