Just When You Thought the New York Times Couldn’t GET Any Worse

O. M. G.

My eyes began to glaze over and my brain began to atrophy a short time into this, so I did some skimming in order to keep my synapses firing.

At each break and dot divider I thought, “whew, it’s over” – but then I scrolled down and, to my horror, there was more.

Bono’s penning is bad.  REALLY bad.  Like a bad writer trying to be all writery and write like (what he thinks makes) a great writer.  Or something like that.  It sure makes me feel better about all the crap I wrote in high school third grade.

And/but Bono is a grown man and ought to know better. 

And why didn’t the editors, well, edit…?  Or just nix it?  (I guess if you’re the NYT you don’t say “no” to Bono.)

Hat Tip:  John Schwenkler who called it “Absurdity, in Three Parts”

Wow. I’m not sure what I just read.

I have no idea what he was talking about, and I’m not going to give it a second glance, for fear my head will explode.

Just remember what we learned on ‘South Park’.
Bono is always working to be #1, because all he really is, is #2.
