It’s not why everyone’s talking about Newsweek this week, but I read this morning this quote from Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, about his new weight-loss book, “Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife and Fork” (which sounds to me like an attempt to make money stating the obvious): “I changed from saying ‘I need to …
