..the real world's all we've got. Believers in the supernatural claim to have special wisdom about the world. But real wisdom means knowing truth from falsehood, knowing the difference between evidence and wishful thinking. Yes, the real world is mysterious and sometimes frightening. But would the supernatural make it better? The real world has beauty, poetry, love and the joy of honest discovery. Isn't that enough?

Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.

Where I live in Manhattan and where I work at ABC, people say conservative the way people say child molester.

Unions say, 'Education of the children is too important to be left to the vagaries of the market.' The opposite is true. Education is too important to be left to the calcified union/government monopoly.

It’s not about electing the right people. It’s about a narrowing their responsibilities.

If government were less important in our lives, politicians would have fewer goodies to trade. In return, we'd have more money and more freedom.

What I've learned in 40 years of consumer reporting is that the market is imperfect, and some people get ripped off.
