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

Fiscal conservatism is just an easy way to express something that is a bit more difficult, which is that the size and scope of government, and really the size and scope of politics in our lives, has grown uncomfortable, unwieldy, intrusive and inefficient.

The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor.

After all, what is your host's purpose in having a party? Surely not for you to enjoy yourself if that were their sole purpose, they'd have simply sent champagne and women over to your place by taxi.
