If you’re one of the four-or-so frequent readers of this here blog, chances are you also occasionally check out the New York Times op-ed page. You may even know the names: Thomas Friedman, Gail Collins, Nicholas Kristoff, &c. Well, I’ve decided to devote a daily feature to these folks, by daily pointing out one line that is either awesome, funny, insightful, intelligent, ridiculous, or utterly divorced from reality. I hope you enjoy.
Today\’s is from Gail \”The Colander*\” Collins, in her column entitled \”A Confederacy of Dunces,\” in which she writes about Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell\’s efforts to celebrate April as Confederate History Month:
McDonnell, like Allen, seems to have a rather shaky grasp of the principles of intellectual inquiry.
It is a pretty great column. Also, don\’t miss Kristof\’s today about Zimbabwe.
* I have no idea what this nickname could possibly mean, but I liked the sound of it.
