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.)
