David Brooks pens an essay for pundits, hacks, and other scribblers on politics, "Engaged or Detached." Read it here. Wee excerpt here:
"But the detached writer wants to be a few steps away from the partisans. She is progressive but not Democratic, conservative but not Republican. She fears the team mentality will blinker her views. She wants to remain mentally independent because she sees politics as a competition between partial truths, and she wants the liberty to find the proper balance between them, issue by issue."
