Mustachioed Iraq War cheerleader and capitalism-at-all-costs New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman’s latest op-ed, entitled “Are We Home Alone?” calls on government officials to act “larger than the moment,” to provide its ailing, apparently infantile country with “inspirational leadership.” The millionaire hack laments classically lamentable American mainstays like partisanship and politics as usual and the public’s distaste for the nightly news. He talks about the need to stop vilifying public figures and italicizes the words our country in a way that connotes those suicide-inducing “This is ouurrr country!” Chevy commercials. This guy even wants the Big O to deliver a fireside chat, F. Delano-style, to bolster the ol’ national spirit.
