David Brooks's op-ed this past Tuesday brought me to the edge of my seat (which is a cube skeleton made solely of edges). It's the latest installment in his long-running performance art piece, David Brooks: Moron or Liar? David's columns rivals the Cremaster cycle for beautiful incomprehensibility; he keeps threatening to prove something, only to whirl away from logic at the last instant like a toreador. "The Limits of Policy" dares to ask why brown people are poor. Dare we answer? Oh wait, David Brooks has the answer. They did it to themselves!
