...answer, "Oh, I think it would be nice to move to New York and run for the Senate" and not be laughed at. As I trail around behind Hillary Clinton on her ninth visit to New York since January, her running has gone from unlikely to assumed.

He knows the three points of the buzz compass--Manhattan, Hollywood and the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Wash.--as well as anyone. Or at least as well as anyone who has so keen an appreciation for the pomposities, vapidities and idiocies that constitute the murmur of our times.
