...Remember how President Bush?s father played golf? That insane speeding through the links where he?d blow through 18 holes in 45 minutes? His father applied that ethic to leisure. His son applies it to work. Yesterday, he spent just over 12 hours in Japan and eight hours in the Philippines. He gets to an event, he speaks, he moves on.

...Cash's death was a blow to admirers of real music everywhere. I am not a fan of most country music. So much of it is little more than superficial pop, lacking the real soul of the blues tradition. Cash's music is different. Whenever I heard his majestic voice and earthy poetry, I was moved. He was the people's poet, with a heart and mind rooted deep in the human experience.
