I never read David Brooks.  Well, actually I glance at his columns over 
breakfast. Then I go upstairs to the computer and look at the reader's 
comments. Poor David Brooks.  It all sounds so good and reasonable while 
he's writing it--only to be instantly and easily shot all to pieces. The 
same thing happens to the books he writes. But he has the patience and 
forbearance of Job. He soldiers on. He can't help himself. He reminds me 
of Dr. Strangelove, trying to act so sane and normal, then slipping into 
his Nazi salute. I know I'm being unfair in this last, but I can't help 
myself either.
