I've become invested with this symbolic power. It really does transcend what I'm actually doing and what I actually deserve.

When you get into statistical analysis, you don't really expect to achieve fame. Or to become an Internet meme. Or be parodied by 'The Onion' - or be the subject of a cartoon in 'The New Yorker.' I guess I'm kind of an outlier there.

First of all, I think it's odd that people who cover politics wouldn't have any political views.

I view my role now as providing more of a macro-level skepticism, rather than saying this poll is good or this poll is evil.

I have the same friends and the same bad habits.

A lot of news is just entertainment masquerading as news.

To my friends, I’m kind of sexually gay but ethnically straight.
