David Brooks seems to be having a hard time lately; he isn't wedded to the Glenn-Beck, Sarah-Palin style of, er, conservatism. He tends more toward another David, Hume. But Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are what the Republicans seem to like right now. So our poor David has been rattling back and forth between ideas, and nobody in the Republican Party seems to be listening....

By Michael J.W. Stickings On the surface, a lot of what David Brooks says and writes seems to make sense. And, to be fair, the whole cultural-social stereotyping thing that has propelled him to widespread punditocratic fame, perfected with the Patio Man and Realtor Mom of his exurban paradise, can be quite amusing. Beneath the surface, though, when you get past the thin veneer of an amusing...

David Brooks writes in The New York Times : Liberals and conservatives each have their own intellectual food chains. They have their own think tanks to provide arguments, politicians and pundits to amplify them, and news media outlets to deliver streams of prejudice-affirming stories. Independents, who are the largest group in the electorate, don’t have any of this. They don’t...

In the summer of 1989, my friend David Brooks — now known to the world as a superb columnist for The New York Times — was working as an editor at The Wall Street Journal’s European edition. At some heady moment — maybe when the Hungarians opened their borders to the West, I forget exactly — he got a worried phone call from his grandmother. “David...

Liberals and conservatives each have their own intellectual food chains. They have their own think tanks to provide arguments, politicians and pundits to amplify them, and news media outlets to deliver streams of prejudice-affirming stories. Independents, who are the largest group in the electorate, don't have any of this. They don't have institutional affiliations. They don't look to certain activist...

Let’s be kind and assume David Brooks just slept through sixth grade (11/4, “Afghan decision comes down to Obama’s resolve”). The fact is that Lincoln persevered despite his generals. Generals always want more troops and better weapons. And they have...

I'd just like to say a big hooray to Ezra for writing this, apropos of Brooks' curmudgeoning over IMs and text messages : Columns like Brooks's irk me because they demean not only my lived experiences, but those of everyone I know. To offer a slightly more modern rebuttal, Sunday was my one-year anniversary with my girlfriend. A bit more than a year ago, we first met, the sort of short...

"A coat of ironic detachment is required for anyone who hopes to withstand the brutal feedback of the [dating] marketplace. In today’s world, the choice of a Prius can be a more sanctified act that [ sic ] the choice of an erotic partner." — Columnist David Brooks on our weekly sex diaries , which were analyzed in last week's issue of New York by Wesley Yang [ NYT...

It looks like David Brooks has officially entered into the old curmudgeonly "well, back in my day" phase of his NY Times op-ed columnist career, with a rant about how mobile phones are breaking down the proper social rules of courtship between a man and a woman. What is his basis for this? Would you believe the "sex diaries" of NY Mag? Seriously. Brooks apparently...

It's Election Day, right? You'd think Brooks might write on one of the major races happening today, but no. Today's column is on how text-messaging is ruining courtship . Is courtship-reform a national issue that I somehow missed?

The next time you read or hear a member of the mainstream media complaining about how much of the blogosphere engages in lurid sensationalism and is not to be taken seriously, then just point them today's New York Times column, Cellphones, Texts, and Lovers , written by house "conservative" David Brooks. Yes, today is election day in several parts of the country but Brooks...
