La Belle Vie

and another message from my favourite NY Times columnist

Thomas Friedman's getting so bad he's even infecting his copy-editors. "I thought people went to jail for that?" Declarative statement, my friends. In other news, rather unsurprisingly, this is the least focused column ever. Maybe if Friedman were writing another one of his (utterly inane) books, he could manage to address China, Ireland, CEO salaries, and the energy bill in one piece without sounding like a five year old on speed - in an op-ed, not so much. And that's not even addressing the goddamn sports analogy. Lance and his team "combine strength and strategy"? wow Tom, i'm pretty sure that's the ENTIRE POINT OF THE TOUR DE FRANCE AND ALMOST EVERY OTHER SPORT. And i don't think the terms playing offense or defense really apply to bicycle racing. But then, i guess when you're a confused new york liberal who has allowed your obsessions with Israel and the free market to completely insulate you from all logic or human intellect and who makes Paul Krugman and Maureen Dowd look good, mixing metaphors is really the least of your problems.

love y'all
