So well stated. The problem with people making a living at punditry, is sometimes the well is dry, but they have to produce a product, so they scrape around for anything, ANYTHING, that will fulfill their paycheck obligations. I used to notice that in David Brooks writing too; sometimes it was very transparent.

Maybe I recognize it because I’ve done it. I recall an embarrassing college essay I wrote about the trials of getting blood out of a stone, when the assignment was to review a Richard Brautigan book that was utter B.S. to me. The prof was a Brautigan fan. He didn’t appreciate my inventive approach.

They should just fill their quotas by talking about watches and baseball instead.
Damn, you beat me to it!
Which we already get too much of, IMO.
Don't forget the wrasslin'.
There's no such thing as too much baseball. Watches, maybe. 😉
Alright; I will grant you baseball. Just this once!
