"  Dear Blog Readers: It has been brought to my attention -- by lawyers in the employ of The New York Times Company, who have to work during the Christmas rush, poor dears -- that they believe the scurvy blog to which I have unfortunately become contractually bound may have violated &amp;quot;fair use&amp;quot; provisions during its most recent encounter with a column written by Master, David Brooks. I have spoken to the proprietor of said scurvy blog and have been told that he only quoted the most inane parts of the column in question. This, alas, covered a substantial portion of the column. In the future, he has promised to quote directly only the most clearly incomprehensible parts of Mr. Brooks&amp;#039;s work, or those portions that appear to have been written by the forms of artificial intelligence described by Master in an earlier column. For example, in today&amp;#039;s column, one might quote this passage... The failure to deal with ambiguity is one of the great disorders of the age. It&amp;#039;s a flight from reality. ...and then cite the following passage from antiquity... &amp;quot;In certain circles, it is not only important what opinion you hold, but how you hold it. It is important to be seen dancing with complexity, sliding among shades of gray. Any poor rube can come to a simple conclusion -- that President Saddam Hussein is a menace who must be disarmed--but the refined ratiocinators want to be seen luxuriating amid the difficulties, donning the jewels of nuance, even to the point of self-paralysis. ...for the purpose of pointing out that Master has retired the House Cup for fatuous front-running. I&amp;#039;d also like to thank you for all the kind words and Milk Bones that you have sent my way during my time down here on the farm. They were much appreciated. I wish for you and yours all the best for a great holiday season. Sincerely, Moral Hazard Irish Setter For Hire "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
