Non-Column 2005-7-28: Brooks is a Lazy Bastard

I'm torn here. On the one hand, the less David Brooks, the better. And I need the time usually spent pointing out how much of a moron Brooks is for actual work associated with my actual life, such as it is. On the other hand, Brooks got back from his last vacation two frickin' weeks ago! And he doesn't exactly have the hardest job on the planet, either. Well, maybe he was exhausted by the effort of making his last column actually funny and had to take some time off to recover. On the whole, I'd rather have him gone: what really pisses me off is that he's likely to come back.
