Basically, I'm motivated to write about sociopolitical issues as well as relationships. I think those themes have stayed with me throughout my life.
It's pretty rare to have CEOs or high level executives at big companies who are social activists. They tend not to be drawn to those areas of life.
I think everybody in news understands that the audience that watches for more than an hour is not your target audience - because those people are on life support.
For those of us who consider ourselves political moderates, life is a dispiriting slog, a sorry mix of rectitude and ineptitude.
It's taken me longer still to realize what a short span there is between those life experiences and the rest of your life. That's a job for the people who lived through it.
I am one of those people that's never been really cynical about life, you know.

While I support immigration regulated through a legal framework, I do not support rewarding those who broke the law to get here.
Each day, each one of us chooses not to do many things that would be legal but offensive to those around us.

There are so many stories about boys becoming heroes, learning their powers and becoming incredibly heroic. There have to be those stories for girls, too.
I love Cheetos, those hot, spicy kind. And chocolate. Every time I'm in the airport I'm buying Cheetos and eating them on the airplane.
