The question to Tony Kornheiser was, "Tony, lunch?"

"I can't," he said.

"Come on."

"I can't. I have two children." As to why being the father of two children would prevent him from going to lunch with The Washington Post colleagues John Feinstein and Sally Jenkins, Kornheiser explained that he was writing. And if he didn't write weil, he'd be fired. If fired, he couldn't get another job. Without a job, he, his wife, their two children and the lovable dog, Maggie, would be living on a grate.

The man is brilliant. Writing humor columns, he has been a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. In sports, he could write any column any way better than anybody else could write it.

But a minute for lunch?

He dare not, lest catastrophe ensue.
