In November, Mr. Kristol told Portfolio.com, “I’m ambivalent” about the prospect of continuing to write the Times column. “It’s been fun,” he said, adding, “It’s a lot of work.”~The New York Times, in reporting the "mutual" decision to end his column, January 26, 2009.
Thinking.
It's a lot of work.
Thinking about where we should go to war, dreamily touting Vice Presidential candidates.
