It’s not about me
That's Washington's byword, where public service is all. New York is a different story.

London’s best show in town
The theater is great, but it can't compare to the Daily Telegraph's dogged campaign to expose the corruption in Gordon Brown's government. 2,200 pounds for moat cleaning, anyone?

Cheney: “We are what we are”
In other words, we're Republicans. We will not bend our principles to please people we didn't like in the first place.

Moms love the bad eggs more
She devotes her life to a creep like Larry, but what about me? I'm the son who does everything I can to make her proud.

Let war crimes be bygones
We don't need to round up a few Bush-era criminals to settle political scores. We just need some truth, and then we need good train service.

Save our national sense of humor!
Since when is farting on a sandwich a felony? People have been grossing each other out for centuries and it's no time to stop now.

Write a poem. Get the girl
The real message of Poetry Month has nothing to do with rereading Eliot or Wordsworth. It's all about winning the favor of women.

The real American dream
In spring, a person's thoughts turn toward what you would rather be doing than earning a living, and in this country that means Being An Artist.

At AIG, we’re all about people
When I resigned from the board, right after my bonus was approved, there were hugs all around and cries of "We're leaving too!"

Where’s my disability check?
In my line of work, forgetting words should qualify me for a fat pension. You know who else ought to get one? Clueless Republicans paying homage to Rush.

When your brother dies
You are left disinherited, unarmed, semi-literate, an exile. There is one less person to remember your childhood with.

A bit of advice: Stay off the obituary page as long as possible. There's no telling what they'll write about you.

America loves its second acts
It's time for Washington's ex-celebrities to diversify. I'm seeing Rush making action movies, and Ann Coulter single-handedly reviving female pro wrestling.
