...back - apparently due to popular demand - to the Journal's opinion pages. I've always felt uneasy around "Pepper ... and Salt," a bit like I do watching Jay Leno, whose high corn factor and consistent unfunniness make me cringe. But what do I know?

I was focused on seeing an interesting side of him. At the same time, I was watching this guy come into my living room and not keeping it a professional discussion. He was pointing at me. That changed everything, and I never looked back...
