About a week or so ago, I launched an... intemperate... attack on David Brooks for being an asshat. You can read it if you want. Anyway, Brooks went further down Asshat Lane with his latest column that eventually winds up with real, actual death panels for the elderly. Which Brooks somehow equates with being the moral thing to do because it would allow us to spend more of our limited government money on education. The moral thing, in Brooks' mind, is to kill grandma to pay for little Felix's education.
Not raise taxes, mind you. Kill Grannie.
Rather than elevate my blood pressure, I'll just re-direct you to Tom Scocca, who is one of the best reasons to read Slate. OK, close to the only reason.
Seriously, read it. It's classic.
