I can't believe this. The New York Times has never heard of irony or even sarcasm. If you look at the last Thomas Friedman's article (on Iran) on the New York Times' website, they list my website with this quotation: ""If you really want sophisticated and just abstract analysis of international relations, you really have to seek the columns of Thomas Friedman." I can't believe this. Here is my original post, which was mocking that very column, not praising it. So now I am on the record on the New York Times' website praising Thomas Friedman.
