New York Times Columnist Line of the Day

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 “Fried at Last” Friedman, Gail “The Colander” Collins, Nicholas “The Dark Crystal” Kristof, &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 Line of the Day is from  Roger \”Life of the Party\” Cohen\’s column \”The Living and the Dead,\” in which he writes:

Prizing the future over the past was never an issue in America.

Well, other than the past, well, two hundred years or so.
