In response to my “generational” musings, Ross brought this article to my attention. It does a much better job of articulating the point I was trying to make.
David Brooks is quickly becoming the only NY Times Opinion Editor I can take seriously. Krugman (who used to be my hero) is obnoxiously riding a partisan wave, Friedman is back-peddling, Kristof is AWOL, Frank Rich insists on turning the NY Times into US Weekly, and Maureen Dowd continues to be WTF?
Ok, maybe that’s a little harsh. These people are all brilliant conversation starters. Except for Dowd. She’s terrible. If I were a woman, I would be deeply offended that the only female perspective on staff is hers.

Hey.
Your link, ‘this article’ only leads to a site about a dinner menu (new york city search, etc.)
Need to check that.
