The best of Tom Friedman in my opinion is not when he's writing for the New York Times, but when he's on T.V. or on the radio. The guy coins phrases like Shakespeare ("terrorism bubble" and "moral creative accounting" in the first minute, just like "Tilt Theory of History") and delivers them in this slow, deliberate tone worthy of only the most sagacious of modern day philosophes.
And he's just always wrong. Just always so horrendously and wonderfully wrong.
