I have very nice cars. I never get to drive them, because I'm never home.
Im a former, living, breathing, right-wing conspirator.
Courage, I now see, is a journey involving self-doubt and self-examination, with the end never in sight.
Criticizing Fox News has nothing to do with criticizing the press. Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public.
The campaign of character assassination waged [against President Clinton] by the right was a singular, unprecedented effort. Nothing like it exists on the left. What I object to on the right is the obsessive hatred, the bigotry, and the personal savaging of their opponents, all achieved through an echo chamber of talk radio, the Internet and Rupert Murdoch's media outlets. That kind of well-funded disinformation campaign has no analog on the left.
When I wrote the Anita Hill book I believed everything I wrote was accurate.

I see the bomber pictures as an anti-war statement. . . which they aren't - at all. Pictures like that don't do anything to combat war. They only show one tiny aspect of the subject of war - maybe only my own childish feelings of fear and fascination with war and with weapons of that kind.
I don't do anything that would ever come across as advice or suggestion, but it's just part of a debate.

Prayer is the act of seeing reality from God's point of view.
I don't want to think too much about me.
