Reviewing my brief essays, and comparing and contrasting them, with some of the more popular NYT op ed authors out there, I have to say, my posts are really far better (not really), more interesting (iffy), more incisive (only sometimes), and a whole lot funnier (mainly to me), in a sort of belly laugh way, than theirs!
Perhaps it is an editor thing, they have these, say, fat, cigar smoking, gruff editors, up there in New York, believe me I know the types, breathing down on them, (say, 'the hot breath of close scrutiny'), barking things like, 'don't put that issue in play'; 'why cut off your nose to spite your face'; 'leave that whole section out, you fool', things like that.
I almost feel sorry for Brooks and Krugman, Friedman, etc.
Pathetic, really.
