McCain and Wind turbines

I read two columns religiously, a weekly column about Football by Peter King "Monday Morning Quarterback" in Sports Illustrated and the other by Thomas Friedman (as and when he writes them) in New York Times. Both of them are experts in their field and write excellently. Peter King brings his own personality into it and brings about an unique flavor (is that right?) in his writing. Sort of a Rahul Dravid kind with a Ganguly outlook to life. Very disciplined and analytical in his approach but brings in a fair degree of emotion as well. I look forward to Monday mornings (if there is such a thing as looking forward to Monday mornings) because of him....

Thomas Friedman on the other hand is more introspective and logical in his analysis about politics and economics. Very precise in his words with a deft touch of a surgeon. I have read two of Friedman's books, but they are very unlike his columns. Both the books, "The World is Flat" and "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" are very good, no question about it. But both are very long winded and keep stabbing at the same theme of globalization, but from different angles. Got frustrated pretty quickly. Friedman Old Chap, you can do better :)

But in a world of craziness, you guys bring a ray of common sense into my life. In a world where McCain fails to turn up for a vote about alternative energy subsidies and still run ads of wind turbines. In a world where Bush back slaps beach ball players and talks about how nations cannot invade other sovereign nations in 21st century (USA never did such a thing :P). And for that, guys.....I thank you.
