 Every government is a parliament of whores. The trouble is, in a democracy, the whores are us.

 Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.

 Farm policy, although it's complex, can be explained. What it can't be is believed. No cheating spouse, no teen with a wrecked family car, no mayor of Washington, D.C., videotaped in flagrant has ever come up with anything as farfetched as U.S. farm policy.

 Fish is the only food that is considered spoiled once it smells like what it is.

 Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

 Gossip is what you say about the objects of flattery when they aren't present.

 Government proposes, bureaucracy disposes. And the bureaucracy must dispose of government proposals by dumping them on us.

 I am a journalist and, under the modern journalist's code of Olympian objectivity (and total purity of motive), I am absolved of responsibility. We journalists don't have to step on roaches. All we have to do is turn on the kitchen light and watch the critters scurry.

 If government were a product, selling it would be illegal.
