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

The one thing an aspiring writer must understand is that it's hard. If you think it's not hard, you're not doing it right.

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

It is a cliche, and it is also true, that humor springs from existential pain - from a need to blunt the awareness that life is essentially a fatal disease of unpredictable symptoms and unknown duration.

I need an irony punctuation mark for the clueless.

You should support Israel not because it is Jewish but because it is a sane, secular democracy. You want Lebanon to be at peace. You don't care much about Kuwait.

I very much believe in the Intentional Fallacy. If Donald Trump lies and dopes and bumbles and staggers his way into peace in the middle east, he gets credit for it. He owns it.

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 think politics is everything.

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.

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.
