Levity is important. I've always enjoyed writing in a tongue-in-cheek manner. When what you're writing about is tragic or futile, I've found that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

This is my way of commenting on what's happening right now. It's disturbing. I saw Condoleezza Rice asked how many Iraqis have been killed. Without blinking an eye, she said 30,000. It was as if she was counting beans in a jar. It's horrible.
