This one is just ridiculous.  Really: it’s 700 words of fear-mongering and absolutely no contribution whatsoever to what passes as “the public square” or “the national conversation” at a time when escalation in Afghanistan and an attack on Iran are both likely (if not inevitable).
This is from the world’s most influential pundit, whose books sell [...]

What John Cole said.
Obama is reading Tom Friedman’s book while vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard.  Vomitorious!   (Although as a devoted Ann Coulter reader, I should probably read it).

It’s official: I now hate President Obama.  Maybe next he’ll read some tract put out by the Kennedy Compound Press about why it’s bad to build a wind farm [...]

This was fairly delicious, even if the self-examination is restricted to the most frivolous arena possible.
This was really good.  Normally, I hate these things.
Is there any doubt at all that Maureen Dowd is in it to get invited to stuff?  Expressing awe at the people you write about should kind of be beneath a Pulitzer [...]

This might be the worst thing yet.  There was that other thing, and it was a bad thing, about “applications for new businesses” in Gaza as an indicator the whole Middle East was getting better now, but this column might be the worst shitpile thusfar.
It’s about how Africa’s lack of wireless connectivity is hampering it [...]

“Green Shoots” is a phrase you hear when desperate people, sweating through their grins, try their best to talk people into spending the economy back into shape.  Since capitalism depends on boundless growth, it is in every company’s self-interest for a climate of calm to prevail, so that absolutely no one saves any of their [...]

There’s nothing important going on in the world and, what the hell, Kristof’s got the Middle East and Asia covered, so Tom Friedman decided to write a column extolling Tom Watson for his good round of golf while being old.  My cliche count registers at a four (including the title, “59 Is the New 30,” [...]

I swear to God, the man’s a social Darwinist.  I’m sure he doesn’t want to see China or the Chinese perish from this vale of tears, but why does every argument he make have to be couched in a soft(-ish) clash of civilizations?  Apparently, everything the US does first requires boasting about our prowess in [...]

It’s time to hold up a mirror to the seeds you planted in the living room.
Tom Friedman’s comeback column–saints be praised–opens with a joke about a prayerful Jew who really wants to win the lottery.  It was only two days ago that I lamented the dearth of wisdom since April 29–which is 19.4% of a [...]

ZOMG, Where is he?  Writing a new book about how our earth is not only flat, but actually one-dimensional as well, like the planet in A Wrinkle in Time where Mrs. Whatsit accidentally brings the kids?
His last column, was the one about how not prosecuting torturers was [spoiler alert] the best move for the sanctity [...]
