David Brooks: Obama made the case for a more progressive America
New York Times columnist David Brooks said Monday night that President Barack Obama boldly stated the case for progressivism in his inaugural speech, unlike his previous inaugural speech. “Four years ago, it was about being trans-partisan, about healing divides,” Brooks said on PBS’ Newshour. “He was sort of above the…
David Brooks on the fiscal cliff: GOP has a brain freeze
New York Times columnist David Brooks on Sunday said Republicans had prevented a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff because the party was at odds with itself. “What’s happening in Washington right now is pathetic. When you think about what the revolutionary generation did, what the civil war generation…
Maybe they don’t want to be happy
Matt notices part of David Brooks’ stat-spewing on what affects happiness, a statistic that should actually give people pause.

Blackazoid: The Blackening
David Brooks has done yeoman’s work and given us the origin story of dear Blackazoid. God, Republicans are saps. They think that they’re running against some academic liberal who wouldn’t wear flag pins on his lapel, whose wife isn’t proud of America and who went to some liberationist church where…
Once again, choadery trumps quality
I couldn’t get past this first line of a “conversation” between David Brooks and Gail Collins at the NY Times. David Brooks:Gail, I watched “Recount” on HBO the other night and learned a bunch. For example, did you know that Republicans are evil yet efficient, while Democrats are noble but…
