Folks, this is John Tierney. If he can think up a way to bitch about how white men are oppressed, he'll do it, whether it's logical or not. He'll even do it by starting out with an anecdote purporting to make white men look like twerps (e.g., men are uniformly champions at the highest levels of Scrabble competition, "because only men are psychotic enough to memorize letter-combinations for days on end"), but in the end, it's all about conservative social whining.
What's even more annoying is that he's a fricken
token
conservative whiner, to balance out Krugman's insane liberal rantings. Tierney is not even that interesting (compared, especially, to Safire, who at least sometimes pulled something unconventional or libertarian out of his hindparts). His one salutory trait is that, unlike his conservative colleague David Brooks, he's not the
most irritating jovial bloviator on the planet.

Not on this topic -- the NYTimes op-ed section has been on the "women, get back in the kitchen, you know you want to!" train for a while now. Irritates me no end.
ION, Bill O'Reilly was on Letterman last night. [link] I can't get the clip to work on this lame-ass computer, but I bet it's a good time.
RIO! Howdy.
Have a doggie yet?
Me, I am procrastinating on the very necessary step of ridding my office of useless piles of paper. It is perfectly cromulent to sit here, hiding behing giant walls of dead trees, right?

Not just the op-ed section, either.
I wonder if men not placing as high a premium on homemaker skills in a mate might have something to do with the sons of working moms actually having to learn how to do housework for themselves rather than be waited on hand and foot by a female relative at all times.
Tierney's such a jackass. I can't waste my brain cells reading him, I only have so many. What can I say? It was him or the Budweiser.
whew. looks like the buffistas have slayed the Tierney-demon. Anyone step on his neck?
Brooks has a doozy out now too.
