Thomas Frank - From the Mirrors category:

Thomas Frank - From the Portraiture category:
There is something uniquely depressing about the fact that the National Portrait Gallery's version of the Barack Obama 'Hope' poster previously belonged to a pair of lobbyists. Depressing because Mr. Obama's Washington was not supposed to be the lobbyists' Washington, the place we learned to despise during the last administration. (Thomas Frank)

Thomas Frank - From the Writing category:
I was in a bad mood when I wrote that. (Thomas Frank)
Thomas Frank - From the Writing category:
Journalism has a special, hallowed place for stories of its practitioners' persecution. (Thomas Frank)
