I am a reporter and writer in Washington, D.C. My stories have appeared in The Atlantic, RealClearPolitics, Crisis, America, National Review Online, Congressional Quarterly, Roll Call, First Things, and The Washington Post. My book is Why the Democrats are Blue (2007). My friend Dan Kearns and I are working on a book, with the title The Congressman and the Cult Leader, about Congressman Leo Ryan's investigation of cult leader Jim Jones.
