	Philadelphia Magazine: Restaurants, Shopping, Events, Best of Philly
		A few years ago, journalist david brooks wrote a celebrated article for the Atlantic Monthly, "One Nation, Slightly Divisible," in which he examined the country’s cultural split in the aftermath of the 2000 election, contrasting the red states that went for Bush and the blue ones for Gore.
		Brooks, an agile and engaging writer, was doing what he does best, bringing sweeping social movements to life by zeroing in on what Tom Wolfe called "status detail," those telling symbols—the Weber Grill, the open-toed sandals with advanced polymer soles—that immediately fix a person in place, time and class.
		Brooks wrote that his hometown, Wayne, was emblematic of the "Upscale Suburban Hippiedom" that was the natural habitat of these "bourgeois bohemians." Like "yuppie" and "metrosexual," Brooks’s "bobo" entered the language as a successful coinage of pop sociology.

	TAP: Vol 14, Iss. 9. Brooks No Argument. Todd Gitlin. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Brooks is the nice Jewish boy as puckish Teddy Roosevelt admirer, a conservative you can bring home to your liberal parents.
		Brooks and Kristol wanted to "bust the great public trusts of our time -- the education, health and Social Security monopolies." How amusing it would be to see him defend Social Security privatization now that the stock-market bubble is long popped.
		Brooks complained in a June 2002 Weekly Standard editorial that "conservatism, even with a conservative president, has lost some of its insurgent energy and has become corporatist" -- though this is not one of his major themes on the Newshour.

		Brooks defends his book's method of "comic sociology," explaining that his intention is to find a nonfiction form to express the insights of a novelist or a poet.
		Brooks divides the suburbs into types—the crunchy suburbs for countercultural urbanites who now have kids, professional zones for Volvo-driving lawyers and doctors who shop at Trader Joe's, immigrant enclaves with their light-industrial manufacturing centers, and exurbia with its Zen-like pursuit of the golf ideal.
		The suburbs, for Brooks, are the eternal frontier, a bastion of constant reinvention and innovation.

		Brooks also claims that Kerry is "unable to blend his specific proposals into guiding principles", while Bush is "abstracted from day-to-day reality", presumably because he is absorbed in the contemplation of Platonic forms.
		David Brooks might disagree with this vision, but it exists, and as presented in the debate it is clearly underwritten by moral principles.
		Brooks claims that the fact that Kerry said that it was Osama bin Laden who attacked us, and that fighting Saddam Hussein was a distraction, shows that he "defined the enemy in narrow, concrete terms." This is false: Saddam is just as concrete an individual as bin Laden.

		DAVID BROOKS: But to reiterate the point I made earlier, which is this is the anti-9/11, just in terms of public confidence, when 9/11 happened Giuliani was right there and just as a public presence, forceful -- no public presence like that now.
		DAVID BROOKS: Look at him today earlier in the program, this is how Mark Shields must feel looking at him, I'm angry at the guy and maybe it will pass for me. But a lot of people and a lot of Republicans are furious right now.

		All kidding aside I do like David Brooks alot and although I wouldn't have picked John Stott as a leading representative of evangelicalism, I do think that Brooks is on the right track - trying to show that there are other, better representatives of evangelicalism out there besides the ones you normally see on TV.

	National Review on David Brooks - OD Board
		Brooks may have his hackish moments, but compared with much of his competition in the Times's op-ed stable — not to mention the editorial page's shrill Upper West Side echo chamber — Brooks is the soul of decency, fairness, and journalistic excellence.
		In their eyes, Brooks is a hack when he praises President Bush, a journalist when he talks about Iranian McMansions and Korean megachurches.
		Whereas the slings and arrows hurled at David Brooks suggest that conservatives need never fear the dangers of self-puffery — because no matter how high you rise or how brilliantly you write, there will always be a liberal pundit whispering in your ear, calling you a hack.

		Asked to speculate about the 2004 presidential election, Brooks said he believes the war itself will not be a major issue, but the debate over foreign policy in general could be crucial—and could give a key advantage to Republicans, who have a more unified foreign policy agenda, he said.

	"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.
		More broadly, whereas Brooks the Journalist unfurls grand abstractions that illuminate essential truths about American life, Brooks the Hack peddles unreliable generalizations that describe the world as he and his friends wish it to be.
		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.

		Journalist David Brooks was born in New York City to liberal academics who taught him to "think Yiddish, act British." When he was four, his parents took him to a "be-in" in Central Park where hippies were tossing their wallets into a burning garbage can.
		David Brooks's bestseller, Bobos In Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There, is an astute and humorous analysis of the 1990s American elite who have oddly merged two sets of values: bourgeois and bohemian.
		According to Brooks, these hippie capitalists are thriving economically in the information age and spending their money on sub-zero refrigerators, gourmet coffee, and vegetarian dog food while listening to NPR.

	Why everyone is turning on David Brooks. - By David Plotz - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		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.

		Brooks does not appear to try to justify racism, except perhaps incidentally -- he is a propagandist in the secret class war which began to be waged in earnest by the Republicans at least as far back as the Reagan administration.
