I write to please myself.

I don't think fatherhood's changed me so much as it's conjured protective instincts I've had all along.

In contrast to how my father treated me, I won't hit him, I won't call him evil, I'll give him affection, and I'll pay attention to him.

I think my sense of humor is Jewish. I'm smarter than most white people, which is kind of a Jewish thing, too.

I can't tell you how many times people - through the anonymity and safety of the Internet, of course - have told me 'You beat women' as if it was an ongoing, daily thing. The only person ever brave enough to say it to my face quickly surrendered his courage when I said, 'Would you like to step outside and see if I can beat men, too?'

To think that humans evolved from lower species BUT the evolutionary process somehow came to a halt and we all arrived at the finish line simultaneously is to embrace a fiction possibly more implausible than Christianity.

Many of the racial problems in America are caused by the fact that people are innately tribal, and politicians know how to exploit that biological fact.
