Brooks is in good form again.

Not bad but not special. We already know that debate is out there. Brooks plays around with the debate but I didn't learn anything new about it from this column.

He's not yet got an edge, like Safire had with his CIA contacts or his "thinking like Ariel" columns, or Krugman has with his analysis of budget/politics, or Dowd with her cutting wit. I had a period in which I would have bought that morning's Times if Safire's column was scheduled to appear; now it's that way with Krugman. Perhaps Brooks will find his niche.

Now they read more like distilled Atlantic Monthly essays than op ed columns.
