Paper With Lines

The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!
Did anyone see the David Brooks op-ed response to it?

From a skyhigh vantage point, if Brooks was serious about engaging with this from a center-right "rah rah America" standpoint, he should have asked for space in a more long form medium like the NY review of books, the NYT review of books, or the NYT Magazine. As it stands now, his level of engagement with Coates' ideas are so shallow as to be offensive to the author on a purely professional level.
