	David Brooks is a moron.
		Brooks starts off by talking about how airport bookstores are divided between men's and women's sections, leading nicely to a segue into how 400 accomplished women and 500 accomplished men in Britain were asked what their favorite novels were.
		Brooks follows up with some muddled thinking: "The insurgents' second great advantage is that they seem able to create an environment in which it is difficult to survive if you are decent." As evidence, he points out that every civilian is a possible suicide bomber.
		Brooks concludes that "this is not a normal speech designed to persuade or inform, but a primitive rite designed to channel group outrage." He is, of course, wrong: the speech is intended to persuade people that Bush's record indicated that he is a bad president.

	Catalyst - Topic: David Brooks
		Brooks was back to wanton wankery Sunday (took awhile), attempting to rebut a carefully-written, 5000-word piece with 850 words worth of anecdotes and hypotheticals.
		This Brooks column, a surprisingly common-sense look at one of the key problems of economic globalization, is a week old but fairness and non-wankery dictate that I link to it, even at the expense of the frequent, rapid-response posting Catalyst is known for.
		Brooks' goal here seems to be to differentiate himself from all of the reasonable people who used Occam's Razor to conclude that economics was the central problem here; in his model, the role of economics is that it led to the adoption of "gangsta culture", which is really the key concept.

	Amazon.com: On Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (And Always Have) in the Future Tense: Books: David Brooks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Brooks' 3-page description of "morally elevated supermarkets" in which he describes the manner in which it seems "that every cashier is on temporary furlough from Amnesty International" is alone worth the price of this funny book.
		Brooks' main idea, that the very things that make us seem so crude, vulgar, and shallow to the outside world--our obsession with success, indomitable work ethic and ambition, and endless material accumulation--are the manifestation of a deeper (and peculiarly American) spiritual quest, is compelling, to be sure.
		Brooks speaks in "parables, composites, and archetypes, for the personality of a people." His generalizations tend to be hyperbolic and hilarious, and many times inaccurate.

	"Paradise Glossed" by Nicholas Confessore
		Brooks the Journalist got his start working the police beat in Chicago; today, nearly alone among those conservative pundits who habitually bash the press for its laziness and myopia, Brooks still actually ventures out into the real world to do his own reporting on what it holds.
		Brooks the Hack spent his formative years at The Wall Street Journal's famously kooky and fact-challenged editorial page, for which he wrote "editorial features," the Journal's term for axe-grinding reportage that sidesteps the paper's famously demanding news pages and, indeed, frequently contradicts what is published there.
		Brooks says you can't spend more than $20 at a restaurant in Franklin County, when in fact it's possible to blow $50 on veal medallions and wild-rice pilaf at a bed-and-breakfast where Brooks himself had spent the night.

	VDARE.com: 09/13/04 - David Brooks Redefines “Conservatism.” Guess Who’s Not Included.
		Brooks believes that "conservatism" in the sense the term has been used for the last several decades is defunct, and in this he and Pat Buchanan, who says the same thing in his new book Where the Right Went Wrong, are in agreement.
		Brooks' article is that it pretty much settles once and for all whether the neoconservatism he represents is really conservatism in the traditional sense or not.
		Brooks and his "progressive conservatism" are proposing is to dump that kind of conservatism and those who favored it.

	Bobos " R" Us
		But Brooks is a felicitous writer and a confessed "defender of the Bobo culture." He's produced a nuanced book that is witty without being wearying and wise without being windy.
		Brooks, I suspect, has described Bobos at their zenith -- which means that they now have nowhere to travel but down.
		As Brooks writes, "These are the kids who spent the crucial years between ages 16 and 24 winning the approval of their elders." They understandably believe in the rules that they have so adroitly mastered: Do your homework; get good grades; earn admission to a fancy college.

	David Brooks vs. gangsta rap. - By Jody Rosen - Slate Magazine
		David Brooks, the New York Times columnist and author who brought us Bobos, Patio Man, and other armchair sociological formulations, is at it again.
		In today's column, Brooks takes his shtick overseas and into the realm of pop music with a denunciation of "French gangsta rap." Citing the prevalence of hip-hop culture among "the rioters"—"poor young Muslim men" from Parisian banlieues and other French slums—Brooks goes on to to spin a theory of global gangsta rap hegemony.
		I suspect that Brooks' source is Theodore Dalrymple's article, "The Barbarians at the Gates of Paris," which appeared in the Autumn 2002 edition of the City Journal.

		Brooks suggests that Moulitsas is a hypocrite for lashing out at The New Republic for leaking the private emails.
		Many on the left have argued that some of the allegations have been based on lies and misinformation, and that they are still firmly standing behind the two renowned bloggers.

	Amazon.com: Bobos In Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There: Books: David Brooks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Brooks admits in the opening chapter that he considers his work an exercise in what he refers to as "comic sociology".
		Brooks does, mistaking some colorful and paradoxical symptoms of the critical breakdown in the integrity and cohesiveness of modern society and its accompanying cultural ethos for a new culture ethos itself.
		In essence, Brooks seems amazingly ignorant of the fact that with the rise of a number of related cultural phenomena in the last forty to fifty years, the majority of urban and suburban Americans (especially those who are habitually electronically connected to the media) are deeply confused and disoriented in terms of their cultural orientation.

	Deconstructing David Brooks - Salon
		In other words, if the president faltered, or failed to convince, or otherwise deviated from the neocon line, surely it was but a trip of the tongue, not a rebellion of the mind.
		Since Brooks has no qualms about lip-syncing for the inarticulate, I'm happy to provide a similar service for Brooks, subtitling for the all-too-articulate.
		Indeed, so smooth is Brooks' gloss on what Bush should have said that I feel I must spell it out for the American people, most of whom don't read the Times.

	Universal Preschool in California: Why David Brooks is Wrong
		Brooks conceded—as he must—that preschool benefits low-income students, but he argued that the fatal flaw of Prop.
		The system that Brooks champions—one targeted at low income students apart from others—would be not all that different from what we have now: a politically weak program, lacking middle-class champions, and often poorly run.
		While Brooks worries about “displacing much of what now exists,” the truth is that many families, middle class and poor, are dissatisfied with their current preschool options, which lack oversight and have low standards.

	What David Brooks Is Missing \| TPMCafe
		Brooks summarizes the main points of the Krepinevich thesis very accurately and succinctly, and adds his own personal agreement that the present U.S. strategy for "winning" the Iraq war that has been pursued from the beginning by Bush, Rumsfeld and Company, is fundamentally flawed, and must be completely revised.
		After thinking about what Brooks has to say, read Krepinevich's final summation, and then ask yourself if his new formula for "How to Win in Iraq" is a strategy to which you yourself would subscribe if the decision were yours today.
		Pat Lang has a little different take on what David Brooks' perception is of the history of the "'oil spot' technique" related to it's use in Vietnam by the US that Mister Brooks has spoken and written about.

	It was all just a joke, David Brooks has now said. But what about Brooks' slick brothers?
		But David Brooks took a different view; to Brooks, people who thought that neocons might want to “move into Syria” were just a bunch of crazy “full-mooners.” And it got much worse than that.
		BROOKS: [T]here are apparently millions of people who cling to the notion that the world is controlled by well-organized and malevolent forces.
		David Brooks wants you thinking it’s strange; indeed, he wants you to think the idea is so strange that you have to be anti-Semitic to believe it.

	Why everyone is turning on David Brooks. - By David Plotz - Slate Magazine
		But because Brooks believes in the primacy of culture, he seems to think that all that excelling means that we don't clash.
		In 1997, Brooks wrote an influential manifesto for the Weekly Standard, "A Return to National Greatness." Brooks claimed the United States was losing the sense of grand national mission that built the Panama Canal, conquered the West, won the Cold War, built the interstates, and walked on the moon.
		Brooks, whose national-greatness ethos lent more energy to the war than anything his colleagues have written, will neither embrace the war, nor disown it, nor even look it square in the face.

		So, in Brooks’ view, the Democrats actually want to support Lieberman, but can’t due to their fear of a backlash by the ultra-left wing of their base…the denizens of the liberal blogosphere.
		Brooks then really came down on the impact the liberal blogosphere is having on politics: “Over the past few years, polarizers have dominated Congress because people who actually represent most Americans have been too timid or intellectually vacuous to stand up.
		Whether you agree with Brooks’ views or not, he does appear to have a firm grasp on what the netroots is doing to the Democrats.
