Balls to David Brooks

[supergee]

Baseball is an attractive nuisance. Perhaps because it proceeds so slowly and gives people lots of time to think, those who are tempted to that sort of mentation produce theories that it is the only way to understand America, that time begins on Opening Day, and worse and worse. The international standard Horrible Example is George Will, but there are many more. Of course David Brooks is one of them, and in reply to his latest effusion Charles P. Pierce points at him and laughs derisively, as one can never do too often to Our Mr. Brooks.
