Susie and I had a good time in Scottsdale earlier this month (we're pictured above, at left, watching some of my think-tank colleagues at their finest). One of our hosts, former Congressman Barry Goldwater, Jr., pictured below, had the most memorable line of the week.

"They didn't expect the government to wipe their nose or raise their children."
