Bono’s new column is truly dreadful. Drezner is holding a contest:
…read Bono’s column and, in 20 words or less, explain its theme in the comments. Here’s my effort: Did you know that I knew Frank Sinatra?"
I like this entry, even though it broke the 20 word rule:
Not only am I a worldwide star and humanitarian, I am–as of now–a great writer–a point I slam home inside–a great many–em dashes. And abrupt. Sentences. Plus, I still drink in Irish pubs–thus–I am cool. Bono cool.
Shut up and sing, as they say. But his lyrics are just as meaningless. I like my occasional U2 as much as anyone, but the words make no sense at all. Ever.
