My father was not a political animal.

I don't have any particular beef with Barbara Boxer. My beef is with the official Democratic doctrine that anybody who reaches Boxer's position has to spout and has to endorse.

People have to eat and it's good to have a last-resort dole they can turn to.

If Americans are reluctant to go on the dole that's because they have a healthy work ethic.

I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory.

Usually I write about what I care about, which is a weakness but I think also a strength.
