mean literature life-is
They've asked me to do this temporarily. I don't know what temporarily means. Life is temporary.
art writing able
I always thought writing was the foundation and the basis for journalism in the same way being able to draw is the foundation for art.
christmas thanksgiving football
The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas, and like those holidays beyond their meaning, a factor in our economy.
public-relations trump relation
Good policy always trumps bad public relations. And the best PR can't trump bad policy.
writing years two
And after about two years, I realized that creative writing was not going to help you ace those biological tests. So I switched over to journalism. I didn't graduate with honors, but I did graduate on time and with some doing.
sports football jobs
A police reporter walks into the worst moment in someone's life on every single story that he covers. It's not like being a sports reporter. That's a great job and all that and takes certain skills. But, you know, they're glad to see you when you show up to cover the football game. Nobody is ever glad to see a police reporter when he shows up.
sports people way
American politics used to be an amateur sport. But somewhere along the way, we handed over to professionals all the things people used to do for free.
sleep president doe
Whether or not the President is sleeping well won't be a factor in his re-election. That will depend on what he does while he is awake.
cancer thinking people
My bladder cancer was related to smoking, and I think smoking kills people.
mean perspective trying
It's no longer just reporting the headlines of the day, but trying to put the headlines into some context and to add some perspective into what they mean.
fun people mind
One thing young people have to always keep in mind when deciding what they want to do with their lives is, is it fun? Is it something that I'm interested in? Is it something I enjoy?
strong vote bigs
Go vote now it will make you feel big and strong
husband father practice
And I came away from that experience, and it was a very difficult experience - I came to understand that you have to practice at being a good father and practice at being a good husband, just as you have to practice at being a good journalist.
war iraq half
The Iraq war was fought by one-half of one percent of us. And unless we were part of that small group or had a relative who was, we went about our lives as usual most of the time: no draft, no new taxes, no changes. Not so for the small group who fought the war and their families.
