Man of the People 1. Ubiquitous pundit David Brooks recently complained on social media about an airport meal costing $78 -- when most of that was liquor. Photo of a hamburger, french fries, and a glass of bourbon with tweeted caption "This is why Americans think the economy is terrible." The hamburger and french fries cost $18. 2. Brooks at a counter in a wine shop with bottle of wine and bag of bread: You can't go to a wine shop and buy a bag of bread flutes and a bottle of 2009 Chateau Latour Premier Grand Cru for under $1600. Thanks, Bidenomics! 3. Brooks looking into a mirror trying unsuccessfully to button his pants: Hmm... this bespoke suit no longer fits. My voracious consumption of grilled meats and adult beverages is but a failed quest to fill the modern spiritual void created by liberals. 4. Brooks at computer: Why, people are rudely mocking me on social media! Time for another column on the loss of virtue among today's self-absorbed, decadent youth.

Latest comic on a certain pundit's infamous $78 airport meal
(For those outside the US, the commentator David Brooks has made a career out of piously trolling liberals for their supposed decadence and lack of morals.)
