There's one more terrifying fact about old people: I'm going to be one soon.

There was also a hunger strike in front of the National Press Club, which seemed an odd place to have a hunger strike (a cocktail fast, maybe).

Imagine having journalists in your own home and not even covering the furniture with plastic sheets first.

The idea of capitalism is not just success but also the failure that allows success to happen.

I don't see evidence of America being a poorer country than it was 20 years ago. I've seen impoverished devastation. I've seen places where things had been good and now they were very bad.

Wherever there's injustice, oppression, and suffering, America will show up six months late and bomb the country next to where it's happening.
