I've SPENT So MANY Years TALKING About Lame Ducks In The White House And CONGRESS, And It's Never Occurred To Me To Find Out What The Heck It Means. It Turns Out It's An Old English Hunting Term - Something About Firing At A Duck Without Quite Killing It. In Any Case, The Hobbled Duck Limps On, At A Distinct DISADVANTAGE.

If PEOPLE WANT To Own A Rifle Or Something LIKE That For Hunting PURPOSES Only, I Tend To Agree With That. But Semi-automatic Weapons And Handguns, That's Just Unreal. I Mean, What Good Are Handguns?

I Do LOVE The OUTDOOR. Love Love The Outdoors, FISHING And Hunting And That Kind Of THING.

Words Are Often SEEN HUNTING For An Idea, But Ideas Are NEVER Seen Hunting For Words.

People Go Fishing And HUNTING And PLAYING Basketball And Hiking And Skydiving And All Kinds Of THINGS That Can HURT You SERIOUSLY, And They Don't Have To Stop Doing That When They Get Older.

Walmart Markets Its Gun DEPARTMENT As 'sports And Outdoors,' But Let US Get One Thing Straight: They Are Not Just SELLING HUNTING Rifles.

Ideas Come From All Over, But As I WRITE More And More, I Find I'm Always HUNTING For MOOD: I Want To Write A Novel With A Pervasive Mood That Sticks With You After You CLOSE The Cover.

I Had One Of Those Light Bulb 'a HA' Moments While Screening 'Good Will Hunting' In CAMP DAVID In 1998 - Madeleine Albright And The Clintons Were There, And I Just BECAME REALLY Inspired By All Of These Amazing People. I Left The Screening Asking Myself What I Could Do.
