Peggy Noonan is not as good a columnist as my colleague Kathleen Parker, in my opinion, but they share something related to their Pulitzers. Kathleen won in in 2010. They won it for a similar reason.

I think Trump wants to be dictator. I don't think the courts will allow him to be, and I think that after months of revolting sycophancy, neither will Congress. He will sink to such a popularity trough that even those spineless, craven gophers will cave.

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

Johnny Hart became much less funny after he found sobriety, and religion, around the same time.

I always love it when a small paper wins. When I was growing up in the Bronx, the editor of the Riverdale Press - a neighborhood rag - kept submitting his columns for a Pulitzer. We laughed and laughed at his ego. He finally won.

I do not believe in public shaming. I do believe that young adults go to college to learn things, and that this process will almost inevitably result in their making mistakes and misjudgments and otherwise acting badly.

Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.

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

The horrifying thing is that nearly half of America seems in synch with xenophobia and race-baiting.

I think we too often go soft in trying to spare people the agony of confronting reality.

One thing I am learning from the kitten is that everything he is doing seems to be in preparation for murder.

I always thought there was some cleverness to the joke diet in which you could eat as much as you want and as often as you want, but everything must be consumed naked in front of a full-length mirror. That would deter me!
