...that a country with a free press, which saw multitudes of ideas contested and volleyed back and forth during the presidential campaign, could not make 51% of its voters see the simple truth that the incumbent has not made their world safer and does not deserve a second term? How can people in nations with repressive governments continue to argue that a free media will disseminate the truth and ensure the well-being of citizens after what just happened...
...short, a very busy fellow, and that may be his salvation. Guns are placed at his head. And sometimes his suppressed outrage bursts forth in angry confrontations. But mostly he is desperately trying to keep his cool and doesn't have time to grasp the enormity of a situation in which, finally, close to a million people are slaughtered.

But many of the ideas are controversial--such as eliminating county school superintendents...
...always been much cooler than me. When I was a freshman, writers’ meetings intimidated me because I could never keep up with the fast volley of inside jokes bouncing back and forth in the Sanctum. A year of writing helped slightly, though when I was being interviewed for the associate editor position, I self-consciously admitted to the then-execs that my biggest weakness was my “lack of snap.” I just wasn’t funny, I told them sheepishly, over an incredibly awkward schmooze at Daedalus.
