I'm on a strict gossip diet. No gossip websites, no gossip magazines. Otherwise, I find it paralyzing to exist.

Well, I'm not sure the New York Times was consciously trying to trivialise me, but the effect of it is to put everything in the same category as the gossip you read in the magazines you pick up at supermarket counters. I was asked, for example, why I thought there were so many euphemisms for genitalia. It's not a serious question. Whatever the purpose of such a tone is, the effect is to make it appear that anyone who departs from orthodox political doctrine is in some ways laughable.

Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of raisins. That's my plan.

I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!

Immaculate conception is the only way another kid is coming out of me!

He met me when I was doing 'Ed,' so he adjusted to that schedule.
