    Friedman and Reality

    This man publishes books after book filled with blather. TV gives him lots of time to promote his blather. He gets on the NYT bestsellers list. And then he tops it off with a speech at the Council on Foreign Policy followed up an interview on PBS with another serious looking guy.

    Rinse and repeat one year later. His mission: Searching for the next American Enemy.
