The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on, rather than to their supposed antagonisms.

At home I serve the kind of food I know the story behind.

We are not only what we eat, but how we eat, too.

The Congressional leaders set the agenda for journalism; it's not the other way around.

So that's us: processed corn, walking.

One of the skills of a journalist, though, is to find people who can teach him what he needs to know. So instead of taking courses, I've been very lucky in that I found teachers - scientists, especially - who were willing to teach me what I needed to know, whether it was about genetically modified crops or how photosynthesis works, and so on. I just find my teachers and don't have to pay for my education.

Plus, I love comic writing. Nothing satisfies me more than finding a funny way to phrase something.
