If you frequent this here premier “web log,” there’s a good chance you may once or twice have read 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 Thomas Friedman, who in his column today, \”We\’re Always Still Americans,\” writes:
Our bargain is that we have to let them know we understand their challenge and will let them go to the edge of the law — and in rare, ticking time-bomb emergencies even over it, if justified — to protect us.
And with that \”over it,\” you render your entire argument meaningless.
P.S. the stupid headline would have been a strong contender if he\’d written it.
