The government is so out of control. It is so bloated and infested with fraud and deceit and corruption and abuse of power.
We journalists are a bit like vultures, feasting on war, scandal and disaster. Turn on the news, and you see Syrian refugees, Volkswagen corruption, dysfunctional government. Yet that reflects a selection bias in how we report the news: We cover planes that crash, not planes that take off.
Corruption is everywhere. It's not just in the Congress. Corruption is not just your prerogative or mine.

Theories of history used to be supernatural: the divine ruled time; the hand of God, a special providence, lay behind the fall of each sparrow.
