Interesting profile of David Brooks in New York magazine. Many, many people have been anointed as "the liberals' favorite conservative and conservatives' favorite liberal," but right now Brooks only nails the first part of that phrase. It's probably more accurate to describe him as "the liberals' favorite conservative and conservatives' least favorite conservative." Better than nothing.
One other thing stands out. Brooks talks a lot about his respect for the diversity of life, and how the mingling of multiple viewpoints is always a good thing. It's weird, than, that his ideal world sounds like it would be populated by people who talk, think, and act exactly alike...and exactly like David Brooks.
