Ezra Klein gets under my skin. He seems to spout the party line.

I'm fortunate to make any money as a blogger.

My father was an immigrant from Austria and he became a lawyer and became a judge and I think he was a good judge.

Usually I write about what I care about, which is a weakness but I think also a strength.
