More From Christopher Morley

I don't think i'm a witty person. to me, a witty person is a funny person who is also a smart person. my friend david rakoff, who died a few years ago, he was a witty person. fran lebowitz is a witty person. i don't think there are that many witty people around, so you tend to notice them when they do come around. i don't consider myself to be that.
Witty Smart Thinking
I think the satirist is always basically optimistic. the satirist's complaint about society is always that it doesn't measure up to a fairly high ideal he has. i think that even the bitterest satirist, even a man like swift, was probably rather an optimist at heart.

Comedy to the senate? well, there certainly hasn't been a satirist or a political satirist who's done that. so, that really was uncharted territory during the campaign. but i think it's a good thing. some people thought that it was an odd career arc, but to me it made absolute sense.

I'm not a one-sex person, and yet i hate the term bisexual. it sounds creepy to me, and i don't think i'm creepy. there are times when i feel downright romantic.
Sex Hate Thinking
When you go into a fast food restaurant, you may just think about how good your meal tastes while you're eating it. but you're not thinking about all the consequences that come from that one purchase - the consequences for your body, the consequences for supporting this company and how it's treating it workers, all the way back to the farm where the potatoes were grown, or the ranch where the cattle were raised.
