Thanks for the Friedman quote, I always love the opportunity to repost this review of the World is Flat:
He has an anti-ear, and it's absolutely infallible; he is a Joyce or a Flaubert in reverse, incapable of rendering even the smallest details without genius.

- kingkongrevenge 18y agoEvery time someone quotes Friedman in seriousness my jaw opens some. I am continually shocked at how many people take this simpleton seriously.

- mhartl 18y agoGod, that article was awesome. Though Friedman seems genuinely affable, and though I bear him no ill will, every time I see his face or hear his name I reflexively exclaim "That guy is such a fucking hack!" I'm so glad I'm not alone: I'm happy as a clam not to be nutty as a fruitcake.
