David Brooks thinks Italian salami is ruining America

Well, everyone is famous in the US, for 15 minutes at least.

David Brooks writes a weekly column for the New York Times, and is an author of several books where he analyzes social phenomenon usually dealing with class and caste, the best selling one is called “Bobos in Paradise.” (Bobos being a phrase he coined short for “bourgeois bohemians,” or the intellectual and financial elites in American society.) He also appears weekly on public broadcasting’s NewsHour, providing a conservative counterpoint to the week’s news.

And while he’s a vocal critic of the Trump administration, he’s conservative enough to annoy many on the left, but not so conservative that he’s fully embraced by the right.
