The next time you read or hear a member of the mainstream media complaining about how much of the blogosphere engages in lurid sensationalism and is not to be taken seriously, then just point them today's New York Times column, Cellphones, Texts, and Lovers, written by house "conservative" David Brooks.
Yes, today is election day in several parts of the country but Brooks shuns any analysis of these races in favor of delving into the lurid world of cellphone sex from the pages of the Times opinion section which, with his column, reads more like something lifted from a sleazy sex periodical found at dented curbside machines or from web sex sites:
Since April 2007, New York magazine has posted online sex diaries. People send in personal accounts of their nighttime quests and conquests. Some of the diaries are unusual and sad. There’s a laid-off banker who drinks herself into oblivion and wakes up in the beds of unfamiliar men. There’s an African-American securities trader who flies around the country on weekends to meet with couples seeking interracial sex.
...the diarists “use their cellphones to disaggregate, slice up, and repackage their emotional and physical needs, servicing each with a different partner, and hoping to come out ahead.”

PING!
” but Brooks shuns any analysis of these races “
Ummmm... Is there anything being said (or can be said) about ‘these races’ that wasn’t being said - and remasticated and regurgitated - two weeks ago??
While I’m no fan of Mr. Brooks, and certainly have zero interest in his subject matter, I can understand his urge to avoid yet another ‘me too’ article....
Ummmm...The NY 23 CD race is completely DIFFERENT than it was two weeks ago. Also a great deal of change in the NJ race.
Yes, but now the kind of candidate he likes dropped out.
Must...resist...
David’s identity is his sexual behaviors. He thinks with the wrong head. That they call him a conservative is laughable.
