I have been accused of something I'm not guilty of. How do you prove a negative? No matter what we discuss here today, I'm never going to have my name restored. But I've got to try and set the record straight.

If we don't have an informed electorate we don't have a democracy. So I don't care how people get the information, as long as they get it. I'm just doing it my particular way and I feel lucky I can do it the way I want to do it.

I'm a journalist and that's what I do.

Let me be clear: Despite Roger Clemens' statements to the contrary, I never injected Roger Clemens, or anyone else, with lidocaine or B-12.

I'm in the reporting part of journalism.

My Marine experience helped shape who I am now personally and professionally, and I am grateful for that on an almost daily basis.

My writing is extremely important, so I write every day. I just enjoy it. I get a kick out of it.
