— Intellectually challenged New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman for “Understanding the Middle East Through the Animal Kingdom,” a piece of pop punditry so mind-bogglingly stupid that even the mind-bogglingly stupid Thomas Friedman should be ashamed. The piece attempts to dumb down all of Middle East politics for American readers, whom Friedman obviously despises, insulting them with a turgid stream of journalistic junk as offensive as it is idiotic. Comparing Iranians to “parasitoid wasps” and Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq to caterpillars, he then lionizes the US (literally) before comparing Netanyahu to a “sifaka lemur.” I swear I am not making this up.

The average New York Times reader is a nursery school student who somehow ended up getting a masters degree.

The irony is that people that read the Time in my experience believe they are VERY intelligent.

Well of course, the masters degree proves it. QED.

These are the people that just give me blank stares as responses. I think I tend to break their NPC programming.
