\”I\’ve started to think of what I do less as journalism and more like anthropological research. I\’m not young enough to assume I know everything and not old enough to realize that there\’s nothing worth knowing; there\’s so much I don\’t understand. I don\’t understand how Cincinnati sports teams defeat themselves in spite of colossal talent; I don\’t understand how George W. Bush won two elections; I don\’t understand people that think Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin are fuckable. And when it comes down to it, I still don\’t understand people, or why I always feel like I\’m living in a fish bowl. There\’s this layer of something between me and other people, and it\’s always been this way.\”  — JJ Rafferty
