Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.

In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

Politics is the Art of Controlling Your Enviroment.

So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.

The brutal reality of politics would be probably intolerable without drugs.

Objective journalism is one of the main reasons that American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long.
