Inspired by Jonathan Vos Post above, we just blogged a
variation of Kubla Khan, in honor of Tom's favorite colleague
at the NYT.
Here's the first stanza (the rest at that link):
In Exurbia did David Brooks
A classless freedom dome decree:
Where profs and hipsters deep in books
And soccer moms and Wasps and kooks
Could live in harmony.
Or rather, in adjacent trenches
Sorted by consumer penchants.
Each latte-drinking bobo her own mentor
In the tribal meritocracy.
For every car on Paradise Drive, an emperor
Of his condo and his SUV.
