I'll smoke anything. I won't spend a lot of money on cigars, because I consider that too self indulgent. $3, max, except for special occasions. And yes, I do know the difference.

I feel like no matter what happens in my career endeavors after today, going to grad school is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I believe that the fragile-flower, idea-intolerant society of victimhood that is being cultivated in many colleges today is really bad.

The total wall is between editorial and newsroom. And unbreachable barrier. For good reason. It doesn't mean the two sides don't talk.

Most men I know adore women, and I am including gay men. I think studies on jury selection show that the biggest critics of women - people less likely to trust their character or judgment - are women.

Hillary Clinton was a cute, smart chick in the 1960s.

Editorials are editorials. They a supposed to have an opinion, even a very strong one.

The verb Garland should be created. It would mean to unfairly put a stinking albatross around someone's neck, to make him unemployable.

Ask creative people where they get their ideas, and they will roll their eyes. It's the most common question, but it's also a bad one because the answer is inevitably disappointing. From the inside, creativity seems like an arduous task, often involving plebeian, imperfect choices, driven less by inspiration than by deadline.

It is not a coincidence that Donald Trump has attracted white supremacists.

I think politics is everything.

International politics is not my strong suit. The older I get the less certain I am that I even HAVE a strong suit.

Nationalism and patriotism are two sides of the same coin, and the most nationalistic / patriotic country in the last 300 years was Germany during the Third Reich.
