The Funniest Tweets about the Bad David Brooks Column

The thing that happened on the internet this morning, which will soon be overshadowed by whatever happens on the internet this afternoon, is that David Brooks published another dumb blinkered column about how poor people are dumb. It’s probably more nuanced than that but on the other hand it definitely isn’t. Very insightful, Dave! Okay, please enjoy these good tweets about the column, and we’ll see you back here later this week when Bret Michaels says whatever bullshit he has to say about yesterday’s New York feature on global warming. Bye!
