Or as Driftglass puts it:
-each concoction deliver would would be career terminating kill-shots
if holding journalists accountable for purveying horseshit as history
was something we still did in this country.
But those days are long gone.
Instead, Mr. Brooks will go right on making a living spooning this
weak, watery poo into the pages of "The New York Times".
He will continue doing it twice a week, 800 words at a time.
And for this minimal effort Mr. Brooks will continue to reap truly
regal rewards.
