Great, she's subbing for Thomas L. Friedman, who has finally -- astonishingly -- realized he's running on empty and is taking a "timeout for imagination," as he so winsomely put it. Friedman announced this in classic fashion last Sunday: "This is my last column for three months. I'm taking a sabbatical to finish a book about geopolitics, called 'The World Is Flat.' It is not easy to take a timeout right now. But I want to step back and construct a better framework for myself to explain what's going on out there." Enjoy Ehrenreich while you can. TLF will be back before you know it, brimming with a fresh supply of patronizing, mindless metaphors about "what's going on out there."
