The Fundamental Unconnectedness of Friedman
Tom Bowler doesn’t exactly fisk Thomas “Kyoto” Friedman, but he does compare him to Victor Davis Hanson. Might as well be a fisking.
All of which reminds me of my impression of Friedman from reading a book of his columns someone loaned me in an effort to shed enlightenment upon my being. One can write faux Friedman simply through judicious use of the phrase “the Bush team” followed by something negative and likely wrong or misconstrued, and especially through mention of Kyoto as somehow relevant to, well, everything.
Which must make sense, because global warming affects the whole, you know, globe, which is everything, so it all relates. But I don’t think this is what Dirk Gently had in mind.
