We've had the trivialization of our politics going on ever since we had electronic media.

The paper nominated me 12 or 13 times for the Pulitzer Prize.

The publisher, Jeff Johnson, who has offered not a word of explanation to me, has privately told people that he hated every word that I wrote. I assume that mostly refers to my exposing the lies used by President Bush to justify the invasion of Iraq.

My only regret is that my pen was not sharper and my words tougher.
