Many reporters, when they go to work in the nation's capital, begin thinking of themselves as participants in the political process instead of glorified stenographers.

It is important to remember when reading Adam Smith or even when just thinking about Smith that the era that he lived in, we're not talking about poverty in a day when it meant not enough bedrooms for the kids, an old car, a black and white television. We're talking about a whole world where poverty meant not enough to eat.

A politician who commends himself as 'caring' and 'sensitive' because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to do good with other peoples' money.

I figured if I could put together being funny about stuff and actual events, maybe I could do something that wasn't being done much.

They couldn't use the things they had. But I could.

Children must be considered in a divorce considered valuable pawns in the nasty legal and financial contest that is about to ensue.

Normally, the job sucks but work is kinda fun, because you see your friends and flirt with girls and stuff.
