This guy is on Red Eye occasionally. He's very witty and has an odd intellectual sense of humor that is not always easily deciphered, sorta like Dennis Miller's long drawn out metaphors with references to things, places and people that the average person isn't familiar with...but it's still well written and I like the parts I understand lol.
He wrote this article listing the big events that defined the year 2011, most of which tell of a hopeless lost generation. FUN!

My favorite lines:
"This past year took the world deep, and the world made noise, but unlike Ms. Weiss, it had, in its soreness, no luxury of bed rest."
"Kurt Andersen rightly described the moment as creatively stagnant, perhaps exhausted, a late imperial Gaga-ing of high empire forms."
"Occupy Wall Street evoked 1960s protest culture while failing to learn its lessons—that the police always win because they have the guns, and that the Flower Children became the Manson Family."
