Tom Friedman is on CNBC... I can't get that image of "Martian" Tom Friedman out of my head...

Chess said...

Ikaika....sit still and listen.. He has the blueprint for reclaiming the American dream...I have a blueprint also and it starts with good bourbon and the woman that belongs to that ass on the previous blog..

I would get about as far as the first pee in a cup test..If I could get a 12 yo to pee for me and passed that then the next road block would be the background check and spending a night in jail in 3 different states during my rugby career in the 70s.A friend of mine last night told me he had seen the Jesse Stone series on Sunday pm and that it reminded him of me.. L like the series cause they are simple and straightforward and thanked him..Actually it is me. Loner.etoh.dog.

you have the cv of a senatorial candidate

Chess said...

Thats one of the nicest shittiest things someone has ever said to me.. Unless of course you mean maybe the Belushi character in Animal House... Mr. Blutarsky gradepoint 0.00 and goes on to become a senator.I worked part time in college at a liquor store. I was able to get kegs at cost so add community organizer to that cv..Did I miss Friedman telling me of my American dream????

ikaika said...

You didn't miss much. Friedman reminds me of someone that never played a down of football in his life trying to tell a pro how the game "should be played".

another windbag with no skin in the game. Seems that the NY Times has an endless supply of liberal academics much like sharks can shed and replace teeth

I've got a cold today and I'm flying later so I'm not feeling very productive. So it comes as great relief to me that you said that because it saves me having to write a whole post about it.

Nothing annoys me more than the way that journalists pretend that other journalists are experts on something. When you see one journalist interviewing another you can be absolutely certain that no actual knowledge is being shared.

Friedman is often interviewed by other journalists, and is the king of the condescending know it all's who couldn't deliver if his life depended on it. One of the more satisfying CNBC moments I've had in the last few months was when Santelli so enraged him by challenging his opinion with facts that he threw a tantrum right on the air. It was hysterical.

Thankfully I missed his entire segment this morning. I feel lousy enough already.
