...other way. Does Gibson not even have the least bit of decorum to restrain himself when speaking in such an atmosphere, to such an audience? Then Gibson rudely instructed an audience member to bring him coffee, and after seeing she was attractive, Gibson--a married man--asked her to bear his children. How insulting...
...academics, journalists and artists. A teacher makes $90,000 his or her first year, and a staff reporter at The New York Times makes several hundred thousand dollars. In this magical kingdom, a partner at Sullivan and Cromwell earns $25,000 a year, and similarly those at Smith Barney, Bear Stearns, McKinsey and the others receive a meager $30,000 salary.

...second amendment reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." This legislation was written in 1791, when our fledgling republic still had no regular army or stable government and was desperately afraid of losing its newly-found freedom to a foreign power. Today, we have a well-regulated militia--the U.S. armed forces--a stable government and hundreds of kids dying from gunshot wounds. Yet the gun lobby is desperate to carry the second amendment to the absurdity of letting...
