There aren't many political humorists. Dave Barry is excellent, but he doesn't do it much.

One of the reporters must have flunked journalism school because he asked a question that went straight to the point.

Zero-sum thinking is an obsession of mine, but mostly in economics.

The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues, and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.

Government does not cause affluence. Citizens of totalitarian countries have plenty of government and nothing of anything else.

Russian cars are silly. They look like imports drawn by a cartoonist for a UAW newsletter.

The question nowadays is not what makes government work. The question is how do we make it stop.
