Just as much as I don't like Maureen Dowd's writing, I love to read Thomas Friedman in the NYT. His prose is clear and pithy, and he makes good points without patting himself on the back for having such refined insight. For the most part, he is a realist and I appreciate that because I feel that a lot of editorialists just like to read their own writing.
Today's column recognizes the public's anger at the financial crisis and our disfunctional government, but gives us all what we need to hear:
"We’re all connected. As others have pointed out, you can’t save Main Street and punish Wall Street anymore than you can be in a rowboat with someone you hate and think that the leak in the bottom of the boat at his end is not going to sink you, too."
