"The object of power is power."

-- George Orwell

“I would, like any other scientist, willingly change my mind if the evidence led me to do so. So I care about what's true, I care about evidence, I care about evidence as the reason for knowing what is true. It is true that I come across rather passionate sometimes and that's because I am passionate about the truth. ... I do get very impatient with humbug, with cant, with fakery, with charlatans.”
“Why would I be willing to challenge my Republican leadership? Because my allegiance will always be to the Constitution and the American people first and foremost, not to my political party.”
“Most writers like to maintain some sort of anonymity. For me, making videos was an assault.”
“I think best in a hot bath, with my head tilted back and my feet up high.”
“With fear of stating the obvious: Freedom belongs to 'We the People,' not 'They the Politicians.'”
