Why
are newspaper opinion columnists so consistently baffled by the
politics, technologies, and social mores of the 21st century? We've
crunched some data, and we think we've figured out the answer: They're
old as hell.
The New York Times' David Brooks is under the impression that the babblings of his Yale students reflect major generational trends. The Washington Post's Richard Cohen thinks for some reason that it's okay to assume interracial relationships probably make people "repress a gag reflex." At the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan was apparently the last person on earth to find out about the internet. It's been a fun few weeks (months, years)—for us, at least.
