As a frequent reader of Friedman - I was blown away the first couple times by how clever it was...until I got to articles #3,4,5 (#6 was good) - and then #7,8,9 were basically repeats as well.

It's basically just a template engine, in which (as far as I could tell) there are only a few article written, and they just substitute appropriate Countries, Sayings, Nouns, Names, Topics in the appropriate places.

It's one of those things that looks amazing, until you realize how it's done.




That sounds like it nails the Friedman op-ed experience ;)


I think there is an irony you are missing. :(


Drat, and I thought they'd rigged up a full-blown Markov Chain.
