in the future, when they ask about Tom Friedman all you'll have to do is point to his column about Pink Hair. They will nod, solemn with understanding, and never dare ask again.

I have this theory his mustache is actually a parasite keeping his body alive, it sends a few jolts to his CNS to make human like sounds and movements from time to time to throw people off.

Every time that I think that the Times is an OK paper, I remember that they employ idiots like that.

Friedman is such a ball of poison.
He's the main reason I find I can't watch Charlie Rose's show without a jaundiced eye and my tongue firmly in-cheek. Rose utterly loves the guy and has him on, seemingly, at least once a month to spout whatever new hogwash he's come-up with. Rose's admiration is quite evident.

I've never really been as anti-Friedman as a lot of people tend to be

But this is a man who should give up on metaphors, set pieces, symbolism and all that for sure, lol. Just get to the point.
