The Legend of Grandpa
This is the eulogy I read at my grandfather’s funeral two years ago. There’s no need to embellish the life of John R. Allison. He did so much. He arrived in Japan in 1945 as a lieutenant with an accounting … Continue reading
Saxby Chambliss is a Sack of Sh-t
Not content with sitting out the Vietnam War and then getting into office by smearing a disabled Vietnam war hero, Saxby Chambliss has consistently fought against health care for veterans, armor for troops, and the new GI Bill. In a … Continue reading

Don’t Bail Out Detroit. Buy It
Regular readers know my penchant for counter-intuitive thinking. Contrast the prospect of a $25-50 billion bailout of the auto industry with the market capitalization of all three automakers put together: about seven billion. That’s right — put together, the Big … Continue reading
Timeline: 2011
