Sunday’s NYT: The Drive-by Edition

By Glynnis on September 22, 2008 8:03 AM

21rich_large.jpgBARTLET: Because the idea of American exceptionalism doesn’t extend to Americans being exceptional. If you excelled academically and are able to casually use 690 SAT words then you might as well have the press shoot video of you giving the finger to the Statue of Liberty while the Dixie Chicks sing the University of the Taliban fight song. The people who want English to be the official language of the United States are uncomfortable with their leaders being fluent in it.

It feels like some promising international news is getting submerged beneath the Wall Street crisis and Palin/McCain extravaganza. To wit: South African president and AIDS disbeliever Thabo Mbeki has agreed to step down under pressure from his party.

Also bad news like truck bombings and Hurricane Ike.

Of course just about everything else has an economic slant to it, including how the Depression Era generation got bit of an unwelcome trip back in time last week.

This is a nice story, but is it really necessary to tell New Yorkers that New Yorkers are helpful?

In case you haven’t heard this line yet, the new financial capital of this country is Washington DC.

Another tribute to the “voice in your head.”

This is a nice read for those of you who’d like to get to know the future landlords of this country better.

Apparently we were incorrect in our assumption that the Wall St. crash has affected every section of the paper. Perhaps the exception that proves the rule?
