If you’re one of the three people who reads this here premier “web log,” you may have once checked out the New York Times op-ed page. You might even recognize the names of the columnists, who every day spout the most conventionally wise of the conventional wisdom. This is a feature that is dedicated to these folks, highlighting one line that is either funny, ridiculous, strange, or actually intelligent or well-written.
Today\’s is from none other than Thomas \”The Tank Engine\” Friedman, who in his column today \”Why Putin Doesn\’t Respect Us,\”** writes:
To put it in market terms, Putin is long oil and short history.
No idea what that sentence means.
** Alex Pareene nails it:
\”Why Putin Doesn\’t Respect Us\” by Thomas L. Friedman sort of answers itself
