Satire and believability are irresistible to the news media.

But I learned first-hand how the news media operates by watching how they interpreted, changed, and misrepresented my intentions.

Other times you can use a calendar to predict the kinds of stories the media is looking for.

So the fact that the media all jump on a story in a similar fashion is not surprising. The opposite, when a voice cuts through to say something different or original, is surprising.

It is the fool who thinks he cannot be fooled.

I didn't want or need anyone's permission.
