Duck and Cover, Mr. Frum. Duck and Cover.

Brian Cook

Uh oh. John Holbo is reading David Frum again. The last time this happened in November 2003, it led to the Greatest Blog Post Of All Time. It's ridiculously, almost absurdly, long, but it's absolutely a must read.

Brian Cook was an editor at In These Times from 2003 to 2009. He now works on the editorial staff of Playboy magazine.
The text is from the poem “QUADRENNIAL” by Golden, reprinted with permission. It was first published in the Poetry Project. Inside front cover photo by Golden.
