More From David Frum

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.

Too few journalists become screenwriters. i say to all the would-be screenwriters: become journalists. and i’ll say to working journalists: do not stay journalists. become screenwriters.

Awkwardness gives me great comfort. i've never been cool, but i've felt cool. i've been in the cool place, but i wasn't really cool - i was trying to pass for hip or cool. it's the awkwardness that's nice.

Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.
Land People Waiting
There are those of us who are always about to live. we are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. it always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.
Tired Waiting Events
Part of obama's persona is self-reliance. he's calm; he's cool; he's self-possessed. in many ways, he has tried to define himself in opposition to clinton's sometimes needy, often undisciplined, emotionalism.

No laws, however stringent, can make the idle industrious, the thriftless provident, or the drunken sober. such reforms can only be effected by means of individual action, economy and self-denial; by better habits, rather than by greater rights.
Mean Rights Self
When i first went into freelancing, i think there was a period of about eight months when nothing happened. everything that i wrote crumbled up, and then it became a self-destructive thing - when you begin to doubt yourself, when doubt turns into - it's sort of like impotence. once impotent, you're forever impotent. because you're always worried about being impotent.
