Unhelpful advice

Just what we need -- Harvard whiz-kid Ross Douthat to tell us "How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream."

Yeah, Ross is the GOP's answer to Mudcat, offering up pithy insights into proletarian politics based on his hardscrabble upbringing on the mean streets of New Haven and Cambridge.

I'm thinking of my next book: I've Got Ties Older Than You: Now Shut Up and Get Me a Cup of Coffee, Kid.
